AMD 770 chipset is designed to support up to 5200MT/s Hyper Transport 3.0 (HT 3.0) interface speed & PCI Express 2.0 x 16 graphics. It is optimized with AMDs latest AM3 & multi-core CPUs to provide excellent system performance & overclocking capabilities. ASUS Core Unlocker simplifies the activation of an AMD CPU
- with just a press of a button. Enjoy an instant performance boost by simply unlocking the extra cores, without performing complicated BIOS changes. Hyper Transport 3.0 provides 2.6 times more bandwidth than HT1.0 that radically improves system efficiency for a smoother, faster computing environment. This motherboard supports DDR3 1800 (O.C.) that provides faster data transfer rate & more bandwidth to increase memory computing efficiency, enhancing system performance in 3D graphics & other memory demanding applications. The ASUS EPU (Energy Processing Unit) provides total system power management by detecting current PC loadings & intelligently moderating power in real-time. It automatically provides the most appropriate power usage to save power & money! ASUS Turbo Key allows the user to turn the PC power button into an overclocking button. After the easy setup, Turbo Key can boost performances without interrupting ongoing work or games
- with just one touch! This motherboard supports the PCIe 2.0 devices for double speed & bandwidth which enhances system performance. Mem OK! quickly ensures memory boot compatibility. This remarkable memory rescue tool requires a mere push of a button to patch memory issues. Mem OK! determines failsafe settings & dramatically improves your system boot success. Get your system up & running in no time! The on-board LAN controller is a highly integrated Gb LAN controller. It is enhanced with an ACPI management function to provide efficient power management for advanced operating systems. Enjoy high-end sound system on your PC! The onboard 8-channel HD audio codec enables high-quality 192k Hz/24-bit audio output, jack-sensing feature, retasking functions & multi-streaming technology that simultaneously sends different audio streams to different destinations. Express Gate is an ASUS exclusive OS that provides you with quick access to the Internet & key applications before entering Windows. The ASUS Crash Free BIOS 3 allows users to restore corrupted BIOS data from a USB (Universal Serial Bus) flash disk containing the BIOS file. This utility saves users the cost & hassle of buying a replacement BIOS chip. ASUS Q-Fan technology intelligently adjusts CPU fan speeds according to system loading to ensure quiet, cool & efficient operation. With ASUS EZ Flash, you can update BIOS before entering operating system. No more DOS-based flash utility & bootable diskette required. When the system hangs due to overclocking failure, there is no need to open the case to clear CMOS data. Just simply restart the system, the BIOS would show the previous setting & then users can amend the CPU setting again. Personalize your system with customizable boot logo. You can convert your favorite photo into a 256-color boot logo for a more colorful & vivid image on your screen.
