Chapter 1: Product introduction

USB 3.0 Boost

With USB 3.0 Boost technology, a USB device’s transmission speed is

significantly increased, adding to an already impressive fast USB 3.0

transfer speed. ASUS software automatically accelerates data speeds for

compatible USB 3.0 peripherals without the need for any user interaction.

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.

AI Suite II

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

exclusive ASUS features into one simple to use software package. It

allows you to supervise overclocking, energy management, fan speed

control, and voltage and sensor readings. This all-in-one software offers

diverse and ease to use functions, with no need to switch back and forth

between different utilities.

ASUS Anti-Surge Protection

This special design prevents expensive devices and the motherboard

from damage caused by power surges from switching power supply

(PSU).

Network iControl

With a one-click on/off button, the software currently in use is set as

top priority over all other network programs, dominating the network

bandwidth with ease. Moreover, you can prioritize your favorite software

easily by configuring profiles through the intutive user interface. Within

the profile, programs can be pre-scheduled to run in a specific time period

to avoid network clogging and long-waits on downloads. Auto PPPoE

network connection gives a one-step setup and an intuitive network

bandwidth control center.

ASUS Fan Xpert

ASUS Fan Xpert intelligently allows you to adjust the CPU fan 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.

Ai Charger

Ai Charger is ASUS fast-charging software that supports iPod, iPhone,

and iPad.
