Chapter 1: Product Introduction

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.

All-new digital CPU power controls work perfectly together to match digital power signal 

(SVID) requests from the CPU, with ultra-fast sensing and response efficiently delivering 

precision power. Accurate delivery reduces waste, and provides more stable CPU Vcore 

voltages. Users can adjust CPU  and its processor graphics (iGPU) voltages for various 

overclocking scenarios, with accurate input through UEFI BIOS tuning or the exclusive ASUS 

interface.  This proprietary design increases overlocking headroom to push performance to its 

full potential.

Tap into the world’s first real-time PC power saving chip through the AI Suite II utility. Get 

total system-wide energy optimization by automatically detecting current PC loadings and 

intelligently moderating power consumption. This also reduces fan noise and extends 

component longevity.

Faster USB 3.0 Transmission with UASP
New ASUS USB 3.0 Boost technology supports UASP (USB Attached SCSI Protocol), the 

latest USB 3.0 standard. With USB 3.0 Boost technology, a USB device’s transmission speed 

is significantly increased up to 170%, 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. 

Any Memory is A-OK!
MemOK! quickly ensures memory boot compatibility. This remarkable memory rescue tool 

requires a mere push of the button to patch memory issues. MemOK! determines failsafe 

settings and dramatically improves your system boot success. Get your system up and 

running in no time.
