Stainless Steel Back I/O 3X more durable corrosion-resistant coating. 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. |
GPU Boost Go to the Limit with iGPU Level Up! GPU Boost accelerates the integrated GPU for extreme graphics performance. The user-friendly interface facilitates flexible frequency adjustments. It easily delivers stable system-level upgrades for every use. |
Dual-Channel DDR3 1600 MHz Support The motherboard supports 16GB DDR3 memory that features data transfer rates of up to 1600 MHz to meet the higher bandwidth requirements of the latest 3D graphics, multimedia and Internet applications. |
Fan Xpert ASUS Fan Xpert intelligently allows you to adjust CPU and case fan speeds according to different ambient temperatures in diverse climate conditions and locations, as well as actual PC loading. Various preset fan performance profiles offer flexible fan speed controls to achieve a quiet and cool environment. |
SATA 6Gb/s SATA 6Gb/s provides double the bandwidth of traditional SATA 3Gb/s, and increases the data transfer rate between your mainboard and internal storage devices, such as 7200RPM HDDs, 10000RPM HDDs and SSDs. It’s also the current trend for upcoming high-speed internal storage devices to to break the existing bottleneck of a PC’s performance. |
|
USB 3.0 Compared to the 480Mbps provided by traditional USB 2.0, the all-new USB 3.0's 5Gb/s offers 10 times the transfer bandwidth, so transferring a Blu-ray movie takes less than one minute. GIGABYTE also has implemented a front panel USB 3.0 port, making the use of an external USB 3.0 device even more convenient. |
|
USB 3.0 Boost ASUS USB 3.0 Boost technology supports UASP (USB Attached SCSI Protocol) in Windows 8. With USB 3.0 Boost technology, USB transmission speeds increase by 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. |
|
Network iControl With a single-click, applications in use have their data and network bandwidth prioritized over other programs. You can prioritize favorite applications easily by configuring profiles through the intuitive user interface. Within profiles, programs can be pre-scheduled to run in a specific time to avoid network congestion and long waits on downloads. This is the most intuitive network bandwidth control ever |
New UEFI BIOS 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.
