5X Protection
ASUS 5X Protection
All-round protection provides the best quality, reliability, and
durability
ASUS motherboards guard your PC with 5X Protection. We use quality components
like DIGI+ VRM digital power design for precise CPU power on demand, ESD units
tested to strict standards that eliminate electrostatic interference, and
resettable fuses around DRAM slots to prevent overcurrent and short-circuit
damage. We also use corrosion-resistant back I/O shields, all examples of ASUS
providing the best possible reliability and durability.
New UEFI BIOS
New UEFI BIOS – friendlier and more Intuitive
Exclusive EZ Mode adds useful info to become even easier
Media-renowned UEFI BIOS from ASUS provides the smoothest mouse-controlled
graphical BIOS, and now features more intuitive functions to quickly take you to
favorite BIOS pages and frequently-accessed settings through custom shortcuts.
You can even write quick notes in-BIOS for future reference, view an activity
log of setting changes and modifications, and rename SATA ports. EZ Mode has a
whole new look, upgraded with extra-friendly capabilities like detailed fan
controls, XMP profile settings, SATA information, and fast clock adjustment.
Together, these perfect your BIOS experience.
Fan Xpert 2
Comprehensive controls for the perfect cool and quiet balance
Seeing an opportunity for more fine-tuned control, hardware-level ASUS Fan
Xpert 2 featuring Fan Auto Tuning, providing an tailored fan speed setting for
each fan with the exclusive, automatic fan speed detection to achieve the best
balance of cooling performance and low noise. It even provides a "RPM Fixed
Mode" for users who wish to reduce noise levels to near 0dB with a specific fan
speed control.
Performance Optimization
USB 3.0 Boost (UASP Support)
170% faster transfer speeds than traditional USB 3.0
ASUS USB 3.0 Boost technology supports UASP (USB Attached SCSI Protocol) in
Windows 8. With USB 3.0 Boost technology, a USB device's transmission speed is
significantly increased up to 170%, adding to already fast USB 3.0 performance.
ASUS software automatically accelerates data rates for compatible USB 3.0
peripherals without any user interaction.
- World’s 1st USB 3.0 UASP support – instantly 170% faster.
- Complete USB 3.0 solution – performance boost under Turbo Mode or UASP
Mode for most USB devices.
- Simple plug and boost – auto detection design ensures best
performance.
EZ DIY
Q-DIMM
Easy memory removal
Even if you work with a smaller case, plugging in memory is easy with
one-sided clips that are right at the edge of the board and always accessible.
Just push down on the clip and push or pull RAM modules in or out – couldn’t be
simpler!
Windows 8 Exclusive Features
ASUS Boot Setting
Multiple startup options
Thanks to ASUS Windows 8 hardware optimization, ASUS Boot Setting provides
better flexibility in customizing your PC’s startup process. You can shorten
system boot-up time to 2-seconds* for a smoother user experience under Windows
8, and even previous versions of Windows. Also, you can enter the BIOS directly
with one click through a user-friendly interface, and quickly select your
preferred system boot up method: either get to the OS in seconds or opt for
regular boot up. Whatever your choice, settings are saved and persistent, with
no need to choose every time you power on.
