Chapter 1: Product introduction

AI Suite II

With its user-friendly interface, ASUS AI Suite II consolidates ASUS

features into one simple to use software package. It allows you you to

supervise overclocking, energy management, fan speed control, voltage

and sensor readings, and even interact with mobile devices via Bluetooth.

All in one software offers diverse and ease to use functions, with no need

to switch back and forth between different utilities.

Fanless Design: stylish heatsink solution

The Wing Heatsink features a 0-dB thermal solution that offers users a

noiseless PC environment. The beautifully curved fins not only upgrade

the visual enjoyment for motherboard users, but also effectively cools

down hot airflows generated by the northbridge chipset. Combined with

usability and aesthetics, the ASUS Wing Heatsink will give users an

extremely silent and cooling experience with the elegant appearance!

ASUS MyLogo2™

This feature allows you to convert your favorite photo into a 256-color

boot logo for a more colorful and vivid image on your screen.

ASUS CrashFree BIOS 3

ASUS CrashFree BIOS 3 is an auto-recovery tool that allows you to

restore a corrupted BIOS file using the bundled support DVD or USB

flash disk that contains the latest BIOS file.

ASUS EZ Flash 2

ASUS EZ Flash 2 is a utility that allows you to update the BIOS without

using an OS-based utility.

C.P.R. (CPU Parameter Recall)

The BIOS C.P.R. feature automatically restores the CPU default settings

when the system hangs due to overclocking failure. C.P.R. eliminates the

need to open the system chassis and clear the RTC data. Simply shut

down and reboot the system, and the BIOS automatically restores the

CPU parameters to their default settings.

ErP ready

The motherboard is European Union´s Energy-related Products (ErP)

ready, and ErP requires products to meet certain energy efficiency

requirements in regards to energy consumptions. This is in line with

ASUS vision of creating environment-friendly and energy-efficient

products through product design and innovation to reduce carbon

footprint of the product and thus mitigate environmental impacts.
