Intel LGA 1200 socket: Ready for 10th Gen Intel Core™ processors Enhanced power solution: 12+2 Dr MOS power stages, 6-layer PCB, Pro Cool sockets, alloy chokes & durable capacitors for stable power delivery AI Overclocking: Quickly optimizes CPU performance based on the CPU & cooler, achieving results that are extremely close to manual tuning by experts AI Cooling: Manages & controls all motherboard fans, automatically optimizing settings based on current system load & temperature 5-Way Optimization: One-click, system-wide tuning delivers optimized overclocking & intelligent cooling for CPU or GPU-intensive tasks Comprehensive cooling: VRM heatsink, M.2 heatsink, hybrid fan headers & Fan Xpert 4 Next-gen connectivity: Intel 2.5 Gb Ethernet, front USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C & Thunderbolt™ 3 ASUS 5-Way Optimization makes your PC smart, taking care of complex tuning with just one click. It dynamically optimizes essential aspects of your system, providing overclocking & cooling profiles that are tailored for your rig. 5-Way Optimization is an automated tuning utility that optimizes overclocking & cooling profiles for your unique system configuration. Fans stay whisper-quiet for everyday computing, & deliver optimal airflow when the system is crunching through CPU- or GPU-intensive tasks. A stress test feature means that you can optimize & overclock for CPU- or memory-centric workloads. TPU CPU Performance Boost The Turbo V Processing Unit (TPU) is an intelligent system-tuning utility that automatically fine-tunes voltages, monitors system stats, & adjusts overclocking parameters for optimal performance. EPU All-Around Energy Efficiency The Energy Processing Unit (EPU) automatically optimizes power consumption & maximizes energy savings with Away mode — a smart setting that creates an extreme energy-saving scenario by shutting down unused I/O controllers. Fan Xpert 4 Flexible Air- & Liquid-Cooling Controls Fan Xpert 4 software provides comprehensive control over fans, water pumps & all-in-one (Ai O) coolers. Whether cooling with air or water, an Auto-Tuning mode intelligently configures all parameters with a single click. There’s also an Extreme Quiet mode that reduces all fan speeds to below the default minimum to keep your system whisper-quiet when performing light tasks. Fans, water pumps & Ai O coolers can also be controlled via the UEFI BIOS. Digi+ VRM Control Precise Digital Power Control The Digi+ voltage-regulator module (VRM) delivers real-time control over voltage droop, automatically switching frequency & power-efficiency settings. It also means that you can fine-tune your CPU for ultimate stability & performance. Turbo App App-Specific Optimization Turbo App means that you can define CPU
