Chapter 1: Product introduction

USB BIOS Flashback offers a hassle-free updating solution for your ultimate convenience. 

Install a USB storage device containing the BIOS file, press the BIOS Flashback button for 

about three seconds, and the UEFI BIOS is automatically updated even without entering 

the existing BIOS or operating system. It also allows you to regularly check for UEFI BIOS 

updates, and download the latest BIOS automatically.

ASUS USB 3.0 Boost technology, which supports UASP (USB Attached SCSI Protocol), 

automatically accelerates the data transfer speed of a USB 3.0 device up to 170% faster than 

the standard USB 3.0 transfer speed.

Network iControl is an intuitive one-step network control center that makes it easier for you to 

manage your bandwidth and allows you to set, monitor, and schedule the bandwidth priorities 

for your network programs. It allows you to automatically connect to a PPPoE network for a 

more convenient online experience.

ASUS EZ Flash 2 is a user-friendly utility that allows you to update the BIOS without using a 

bootable floppy disk or an OS-based utility.

This motherboard features the ASUS O.C. Profile that allows you to store or load multiple 

BIOS settings. The BIOS settings can be stored in the CMOS or a separate file, giving you 

the freedom to share and distribute your favorite overclocking settings.

The onboard 8-channel HD audio (High Definition Audio, previously codenamed Azalia) 

CODEC enables high-quality Absolute Pitch 192kHz/24bit audio output, true BD lossless 

sound, jack-sensing feature, retasking functions and multi-streaming technology.

This motherboard provides a convenient connectivity to external home theater audio systems 

via optical S/PDIF-out (Sony-Philips Digital Interface) jacks. It allows the system to transfer 

digital audio without converting to analog format and keeps the best signal quality.

The motherboard is European Union’s Energy-related Products (ErP) ready, and ErP requires 

products to meet certain energy efficiency requirement 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.
