USB BIOS Flashback

Simple Plug & Press - Hardware-based BIOS Flashback

A truly revolutionary hardware-based update solution. USB BIOS Flashback offers the most convenient way ever

to update the BIOS! It allows users to update new UEFI BIOS versions even without hardware such as a CPU or

DRAM installed into the motherboard. Just plug in a USB flash drive containing the BIOS file, and press the

BIOS Flashback button for 3 seconds with the power supply connected. The UEFI BIOS will then automatically

update without requiring further interaction. With its new, complementary Windows application, users can

regularly check for UEFI BIOS updates and download the latest BIOS automatically. Hassle-free updating for

the ultimate convenience!

Network iControl

Real-time Network Bandwidth Control

With a single-click on/off button, the application currently in use has its data and network bandwidth

prioritized over other programs. Moreover, you can prioritize your favorite software easily by configuring

profiles through the intuitive user interface. Within the profile, programs can be pre-scheduled to run in a

specific time period to avoid network congestion and long-waits on downloads. Auto PPPoE network connection

provides a one-step setup for enhanced online convenience. Overall, it's an intuitive network bandwidth

control center.

LucidLogix Virtu MVP

Up to 60% Hybrid Graphics Boost and 3X Faster Video Conversion

LucidLogix Virtu MVP featuring HyperFormance Technology boosts your discrete graphics card up to 60% beyond

its original performance through the test of 3DMark Vantage. Designed for Intel® processor graphics and

Windows® 7 PCs, it perfectly combines the performance of discrete graphics cards with fast computing iGPU.

Also with the newly designed Virtual Sync, users can enjoy a smoother gaming experience by eliminating

tearing artifacts. LucidLogix Virtu MVP could also dynamically assign tasks to the best available graphics

resource, based on power, performance and system load. This allows users to fully utilize 3x faster video

conversion with Intel® Quick Sync Video 2.0 technology while retaining high-end 3D rendering and gaming

performance, provided by both NVIDIA® and AMD graphic cards. When the discrete graphics card is not required,

power consumption goes automatically down to near zero, making the system more environmentally-friendly.

For users searching for perfection, LucidLogix Virtu MVP provides great graphical performance and the best

flexibility and efficiency.

Dual Intelligent Processors 2 with DIGI+ VRM

Digital Power Design: The New Standard

The worlds first Dual Intelligent Processors from ASUS pioneered the use of two onboard chips - EPU

(Energy Processing Unit) and TPU (TurboV Processing Unit). The new generation of Dual Intelligent Processors

2 with DIGI+ VRM provides precise Vcore PWM, integrated graphics voltages and frequency module adjustments

with minimal power loss through BIOS tuning and an exclusive user interface to increase the boards

overclocking range while performance reaches its full potential. ASUS DIGI+ VRM digital power design empowers

users with superior flexibility and perfect precision to ensure optimized performance, extreme system

stability and greater power efficiency.

DIGI+ VRM

Herald the Arrival of a New Digital Power Design Era

VRM, or voltage regulator modules, are considered among the most essential motherboard design components.

They supply the voltage demanded by the CPU, and a good VRM must intelligently detect actual CPU power draw

to provide precise power accordingly. ASUS DIGI+ VRM is an innovative, industry-leading technology that

fully integrates Intel® VRD12 specifications on a native level, greatly enhancing power to go far beyond the

limits of analog designs.

DIGI+ VRM - Super Efficiency, Super Precise, Unleash iGPU Potential

Advantages of ASUS DIGI+ VRM Digital Power Design

Unlike previous VRD versions, Intel® VRD12 uses digital signals (SVID). To ensure perfect power delivery,

ASUS specially designed DIGI+ VRM to sync completely with this new technology.

Faster sensing and response: ASUS DIGI+ VRM acts as a digital controller to perfectly match digital power signal (SVID) requests from the CPU, eliminating digital-to-analog conversion lag.
Better cooling: exclusive dual driver and MOS design doubles the heat dissipation area with expanded cooling surfaces for improved thermal performance. Spacing components out over a wider area speeds up cooling to enhance reliability and stability.
2X CPU power supply: the same exclusive dual driver and MOS design also provides twice the CPU power supply with two complete power stages. This results in far greater phase load tolerances, so the CPU never has to wait for power to arrive, increasing performance and overclocking potential.

ASUS Exclusive Digital Power - 2X CPU power supply

Active Cooling for Extreme Durability- Super Cool VRM

ASUS DIGI+ VRM delivers intelligent power management to balance loadings for each power phase by detecting

VRM temperatures to ensure longer component lifespan and better cooling.

Active Cooling for Extreme Durability- Super Cool VRM

TPU

The Ultimate Turbo Processor

Unleash your performance with ASUS' simple onboard switch or AI Suite II utility. The TPU chip offers

precise voltage control and advanced monitoring through Auto Tuning , GPU Boost and TurboV functions.

Auto Tuning offers a user friendly way to automatically optimize the system for fast, yet stable clock

speeds, while TurboV enables unlimited freedom to adjust CPU frequencies and ratios for optimized

performance in diverse situations.

EPU

Energy Efficiency All Around

Tap into the world's first real-time PC power saving chip through a simple onboard switch or AI Suite II

utility. Get total system-wide energy optimization by automatically detecting current PC loadings and

intelligently moderating power consumption. This also reduces fan noise and extends component longevity!
