Chapter 1
ASUS DRAM Fuse
Onboard polyswitch (resettable fuse) prevents overcurrent and short-circuit damage. This
extends beyond I/O ports to DRAM to safeguard the system and device lifespan.
ASUS ESD Guards
Electrostatic discharges (ESD) can happen suddenly, and their damaging effects are often
underestimated. ASUS ESD Guards offer an active protective circuit design that ensures
electrostatic discharges are properly grounded, providing prolonged component longevity.
ASUS All 5K-Hour Solid Capacitors
ASUS high-quality solid state capacitors assure a 5000-hour lifespan --- equivalent to 2.5
times longer than traditional capacitors. All capacitors pass testing under temperatures as
high as 105 degrees and meet Japanese industrial standards to provide excellent durability
and enhanced thermal capacity.
ASUS Stainless Steel Back I/O
ASUS motherboard back I/O panels are made from strong and corrosion-resistant stainless
steel, which is bonded with a thin layer of chromium oxide to enhance anti-corrosive
properties. Passing 72-hour spray salt endurance tests, ASUS stainless steel back I/O panels
have a usage life three times longer compared to ordinary panels.
1.1.3 ASUS Exclusive Features
EPU
Tap into the world’s first real-time PC power saving chip through a simple onboard switch or
AI Suite 3 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.
GPU Boost
GPU Boost accelerates the integrated GPU for extreme graphics performance, facilitates
flexible frequency adjustments and easily delivers stable system-level upgrades for every
use.
USB 3.0 Boost
ASUS USB 3.0 Boost, which supports USB 3.0 standard UASP (USB Attached SCSI
Protocol), significantly increases a USB device’s transfer speed up to 170% faster than the
already impressive USB 3.0 transfer speed. It automatically accelerates data speeds for
compatible USB 3.0 peripherals without the need for any user interaction.
Network iControl
Network iControl is an intuitive one-step network control center that makes it easier for you to
manage your bandwidth and allows you to set, monitor and schedule the bandwidth priorities
for your network programs.
