• Advanced hardware safeguards
  Advanced 5X Protection II employs fine 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.
• 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.
• Amazing 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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 capable of up to +/- 10 kV for air discharge and +/-6 kV for contact discharge.
• Media-acclaimed UEFI BIOS
  The smooth, slick mouse-controlled graphical BIOS has been improved to make it even more appealing. Whether you're a PC novice or a seasoned overclocker, the EZ and advanced modes help you find your way, quickly and easily.
• Instant front-panel USB 3.0 experience
  It was put USB 3.0 right where you need it - four super-speed ports on the front panel. Experience data-transfer speeds up to 10x faster than USB 2.0 with instant plug-and-play connectivity, so no more back-breaking contortions in the hunt for hard-to-reach rear ports!
• LED-illuminated design
  Brighten up your build with the gorgeous illuminated audio trace path.
• Noise isolation
  Audio shielding ensures precision analog/digital separation and greatly reduced multi-lateral interference. Separate layers for left and right tracks ensures both channels deliver consistent, equal quality.
• Audio enjoyment
  Premium audio capacitors provide warm, natural, and immersive sound with exceptional clarity and fidelity.
• Component-free areas to minimize damage risk
  Fitting your ASUS motherboard is safer than ever. The comprehensive component-free safe zones around every case-mounting hole minimizes the risk of damage and short circuits caused by contact - so you'll assemble your PC with total confidence!
• Effortless PCI Express component removal
  The large winged clip is easy to reach and easy to operate. Just press the Q-Slot clip lightly, and graphics card just pop out.
• Easy memory removal
  Even if you work with a smaller case, just push down on the one-sided clip and push or pull RAM modules in or out - couldn't be simpler!
• Advanced fan controls
  With onboard thermal detection and hardware-level 4-pin/3-pin PWM/DC mode, Fan Xpert 2+ makes sure every fan achieves a great balance of cooling performance and low noise!
