We focus relentlessly on quality to ensure long-term system reliability & performance. Precise digital power control with ASUS DIGI+ VRM Voltage regulator modules (VRMs) are among the most essential motherboard components. A good VRM intelligently delivers CPU power based on actual needs at any given time. ASUS was first with digital power design featuring faster sensing & response to deliver precise CPU power on dem&. This great accuracy reduces energy waste & of course improves system stability thanks to more consistent delivery. Enhanced DRAM overcurrent protection Onboard resettable fuses prevent overcurrent & short-circuit damage. This extends beyond I/O ports to DRAM to safeguard the lifespan of both your system & connected device. Stainless-steel back I/O that lasts 3X longer ASUS motherboard back I/O panels are made from strong & corrosion-resistant stainless steel, which is bonded with a thin layer of chromium oxide to enhance anti-corrosive properties. Passing 72-hour spray salt endurance tests, ASUS stainless steel back I/O panels have a lifespan thats three times (3X) longer compared to ordinary panels. ESD Guards for protection from electrostatic discharge Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can happen suddenly, & its damaging effects are easily underestimated. ASUS ESD Guards are tested to very high standards, capable of up to +/- 10k V for air discharge & +/-6k V for contact discharge. We employ an active protective circuit design to guard your system against electrostatic interference & damage, providing greater component longevity. Proven compatibility Having the freedom to pick & choose the parts that go into your machine is at the heart of PC DIY. Our extensive certification program focuses on providing the very best compatibility with the widest range of components & devices, giving you the freedom to build & upgrade without frustration. Compatible today & compatible far into the future – thats the ASUS way. Designed — Great compatibility with ASUS products When you choose an ASUS motherboard, its likely youll also go with ASUS for other components. ASUS designs products from the ground up so that graphics cards, sound cards & optical drives work flawlessly with your motherboard. Ultimate cooling & quietness with Fan Xpert ASUS Fan Xpert intelligently means that you can adjust CPU & case fan speeds according to different ambient temperatures in diverse climate conditions & locations, as well as actual PC loading. Various preset fan performance profiles offer flexible fan speed controls to achieve a quiet & cool environment. 170% faster transfer speeds with USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.0 Boost ASUS USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.0 Boost technology supports UASP (USB Attached SCSI Protocol) USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.0 in Windows 8. With USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.0 Boost technology, a USB (Universal Serial Bus) devices transmission speed is significantly increased up to 170%, adding to already fast USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.0 performance. ASUS software automatically accelerates data rates for compatible USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.0 peripherals without any user interaction.
