ASUS EFI BIOS (EZ Mode)

ASUS brand new EFI BIOS offers a user-friendly interface that goes

beyond traditional keyboard BIOS input to enable more flexible and

convenient mouse controls. You can easily navigate the new EFI BIOS

with the same smoothness as their operating system, while the exclusive

EZ Mode displays frequently-accessed setup info, while the Advanced

Mode is for experienced performance enthusiasts that demand far more

intricate system settings.

ASUS TurboV

Feel the adrenaline rush of real-time OC-now a reality with the ASUS

TurboV. This easy OC tool allows you to overclock without exiting or

rebooting the OS; and its user-friendly interface makes overclock with just

a few clicks away. Moreover, the ASUS OC profiles in TurboV provides

the best O.C. settings in different scenarios.

ASUS Anti-Surge Protection

This special design prevents expensive devices and the motherboard

from damage caused by power surges from switching power supply

(PSU).

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. 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 stylish heatsink features 0-dB thermal solution that offers users a

noiseless PC environment. Not only the beautiful shape upgrades the

visual enjoyment for motherboard users, but also the heatsink design

lowers the temperature of the chipset and power phase area through

high efficient heat-exchange. Combined with usability and aesthetics,

the ASUS stylish heatsink will give users an extremely silent and cooling

experience with the elegant appearance!

Fan Xpert

ASUS Fan Xpert intelligently allows you to adjust the CPU and chassis

fan speeds according to different ambient temperatures caused by

different climate conditions in different geographic regions and your PC’s

loading. The built-in variety of useful profiles offer flexible controls of fan

speed to achieve a quiet and cool environment.
