24/7 reliability
You demand 24/7 reliability and we've delivered! TUF motherboards undergo the
industry's most punishing tests to ensure they're ready for long-term duty in
any environment. In our tests we overheat them, chill them, bend them, shock
them and drop them so you know that your TUF motherboard is certified for 24/7
reliability!
SafeSlot
PROTECT YOUR GRAPHICS CARD INVESTMENT
SafeSlot* is the PCIe slot reinvented by ASUS and engineered to provide
superior retention and shearing resistance. Manufactured in a single step using
a new insert-molding process, SafeSlot integrates the slot with fortifying metal
for an inherently stronger slot, which is then firmly anchored to the PCB
through additional solder points.
