- helping save power & money. sturdy components & rock-solid performance makes you completely immersive in the VR scenario. Users can be assured to experience VR enjoyments without any compatibility problems. ASUS Anti-Surge Protection Anti-Surge Protection Design detects overvoltage conditions & prevents voltage surges from spreading in real time. It also actively cuts off the overvoltage supply to protect the system. 1. Real-time over voltage detection. 2. Active protection against potential damage to your motherboards & systems. Low EMI Protect You A special low-radiation design shields you from harmful electromagnetic exposure by eliminating 50% of radiation. 1. Radiation Deduction Design minimizes harmful electromagnetic radiation output with exclusive circuit design to cancel electrical charge. 2. The Radiation Moat Design effectively blocks radiation to prevent discharge spread. ESD Protect Your Computer with ESD Guards. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) conditions can happen while plugging or unplugging any USB (Universal Serial Bus) peripherals-causing damage to the computer. ASUS ESD Guards clamp the ESD voltage & shunt the majority of the ESD current away for a more reliable computing environment. USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.0 support Experience ultra-fast data transfer at 4.8 Gbps with USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.0 – the latest connectivity standard. Built to connect easily with next-generation components & peripherals, USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.0 transfers data 10 times faster & is also backward compatible with USB (Universal Serial Bus) 2.0 components.
