Overview:
ASUS Exclusive USB 3.0 Boost --1.3X Faster than Traditional USB 3.0
With USB 3.0 Boost technology, USB transfer speeds are significantly increased up to 1.3x, enhancing an already impressive USB 3.0 transfer rate. ASUS software automatically accelerates data speeds for compatible USB 3.0 peripherals without the need for any further user configuration.
Network iControl--Real-time Network Bandwidth Control
With a single-click on/off button, the application currently in use has its data and network bandwidth prioritized over other programs. In addition, you can prioritize your favorite software easily by configuring profiles through the intuitive user interface. Within the profile, programs can be pre-scheduled to run in a specific time period to avoid network congestion and long-waits on downloads. Auto PPPoE network connection provides a one-step setup for enhanced online convenience. Overall, it's an intuitive network bandwidth control center.
100% High-Quality Solid Capacitors
ASUS's high-quality solid capacitors assure a 5,000-hour lifespan (5K Hrs. @ 105°C; 50K Hrs. @ 65°C) – equivalent to 2.5 times longer than traditional capacitors. All capacitors pass testing under temperatures as high as 105 degrees, and meet Japanese industrial standards to provide excellent durability and enhanced thermal capacity.
Extra-Durable Stainless Steel Back I/O
The ASUS Motherboard's 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 its anti-corrosion properties. That is why ASUS stainless steel back I/O panels have a usage life three times longer compared to ordinary panels.
Windows 8 Ready — One-Stop Access to Innovative ASUS Features
With hardware driver compatibility tested and assured, ASUS provides a complete solution for Windows 8 support. Users can now experience the next generation operating system on ASUS hardware, and can rest assured that they can easily upgrade once the final driver versions are released — all without any compatibility issues!
