Product features

• One-click overclock and cooling
  One click takes care of all that complex tuning. ASUS 5-way optimization makes your PC smart. It dynamically optimizes essential aspects of your system based on real-time usage - so you get superb CPU performance, everyday energy savings, ultra-stable digital power, cool and quiet fans, and now networking and audio settings that are tailored to your apps. In short, 5-way ASUS optimization ensures that your PC is perfect for gaming, entertainment and productivity!
• OC design - ASUS PRO Clock technology
  A dedicated base-clock generator designed for Intel processors allows overclocked base clock frequencies up to or beyond 425 MHz. This custom solution works in tandem with the ASUS TurboV processing unit to enhance voltage and base-clock overclocking control - providing an exciting way to boost performance to extreme heights.
• DDR4 overclocking strength in numbers
  Third-generation ASUS T-Topology allows memory frequencies that are higher than ever - to 3866 MHz and beyond. Refined manufacturing ensures ultra-consistent quality and minimal crosstalk between custom trace paths, so you'll enjoy the thrill of overclocking DDR4 with time-aligned signaling for superior stability and compatibility.
• Native M.2/NVMe PCIe RAID support for lightning fast storage speed
  Not satisfied with single-storage device read/write speeds? Then join the fast lane and build a RAID 0 array using two PCIe storage drives to enjoy data transfers at lightning speeds.
• Brighten up your build
  A well-tuned system deserves a matching aesthetic. ASUS Aura offers full RGB lighting control with a variety of functional presets for built-in RGB LEDs as well as LED strips connected to the onboard 4-pin RGB headers - all of which can be synced with an ever-growing portfolio of Aura Sync-capable ASUS hardware.
• 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 to integrate the slot with fortifying metal support for an inherently stronger design, the SafeSlot is then firmly anchored to the PCB through additional solder points.
