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 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

RPM Fixed Mode

Fan Xpert 2 includes an RPM Fixed Mode for users who wish to reduce noise levels to

near 0dB with highly specific fan speed control. It reacts to system loads for greater response.

Informative fan controls

Delivers complete information that allows you to take advanced control over each fan.

Performance Optimization

PCI Express 3.0

PCI Express 3.0 uses improved encoding that provides twice the performance of PCI Express

2.0. Total bandwidth for an x16 link reaches 32GB/s, delivering unprecedented data speeds

combined with the convenience and seamless transition offered by complete backward compatibility.

Complete USB 3.0 integration

Double USB access, double the convenience

ASUS facilitates USB 3.0 accessibility for both the front and rear panel. Experience the

latest plug n play connectivity at speeds up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0. Our motherboards

afford greater convenience with high speed connectivity.

SATA 6.0 Gb/s

Twice the speed

ASUS provides SATA 6.0 Gb/s ports with enhanced scalability, faster data retrieval,

and double the bandwidth of SATA 3Gb/s.

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.

Worlds 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.

USB BIOS Flashback

Simple plug and press hardware-based BIOS flashing

Hardware-level USB BIOS Flashback allows users to update to new UEFI BIOS versions even

without a CPU or DRAM installed. Just plug in a USB flash drive containing the BIOS file

and press the RESET button for 3 seconds with the power supply connected. Hassle-free updating

for ultimate convenience!

ASUS Boot Setting

Multiple startup options

Thanks to ASUS Windows 8 hardware optimization, ASUS Boot Setting provides better flexibility

in customizing your PCs 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.
