Dependable Stability
Advanced Hardware Safeguards
Industry-leading 5X Protection II employs the finest components, excellent
circuit design, and exacting standards to guarantee quality and long-term
durability of your motherboard with all-round protection. For you, that means
exceptional protection and stability for your build the result of decades of
engineering experience from the world's leading motherboard brand.
LANGuard
Pumped-up throughput. 2.5X higher surge tolerance.
ASUS LANGuard is hardware-level networking protection that employs
signal-coupling technology and premium anti-EMI surface-mounted capacitors
ensuring a more reliable connection and better throughput, plus
electrostatically-guarded and surge-protected components for greater tolerance
to static electricity and improved protection against surges.
Overvoltage Protection
World-class circuit-protecting power design
An exclusive circuit design with built-in voltage regulators to protect your
chipset, connectivity ports, and audio codecs from damage caused by unexpected
high-level voltages from unstable or inferior power supplies.
DRAM Overcurrent Protection
Short-circuit damage prevention.
Onboard resettable fuses prevent overcurrent and short-circuit damage. This
extends beyond I/O ports to DRAM to safeguard the lifespan of both your system
and connected devices.
DIGI+ VRM
Precision control for stable power.
ASUS-exclusive DIGI+ VRM intelligently delivers power to the processor based
on real-time demands, reducing energy waste and improving system stability.
Stainless-Steel Back I/O
3X corrosion-resistance for greater durability.
Corrosion-resistant stainless steel back I/O panels bonded with chromium
oxide have a lifespan that's three times (3X) longer than ordinary panels.
ESD Guards
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can happen suddenly, and its damaging effects
are easily underestimated. ASUS ESD Guards are tested to very high standards,
capable of up to +/- 10kV for air discharge and +/-6kV for contact discharge. We
employ an active protective circuit design to guard your system against
electrostatic interference and damage, providing greater component
longevity.
Superb Performance
DDR4 Support
Make your memory go faster.
With DDR4, you'll accelerate memory frequencies up to an incredible to
