Asus H61-PLUS - Manual (Page 14)

Intel ® Smart Connect Technology
Your computer can receive fresh updates for selected applications, even when the system
is in sleep mode. This means less time waiting for applications to update and sync with the
cloud, leading to a more efficient computing experience.
Intel ® Rapid Start Technology
Intel ® Rapid Start Technology allows your system to receive updates for your web
applications in real-time even when your system is in sleep mode, saving wait time and
power usage.
8-channel high definition audio
The onboard 8-channel HD audio (High Definition Audio, previously codenamed Azalia)
CODEC enables high-quality 192KHz/24-bit audio output and jack-detect feature that
automatically detects and identifies what types of peripherals are plugged into the audio
I/O jacks and notifies users of inappropriate connection, which means there will be no more
confusion of Line-in, Line-out, and Mic jacks.
* Use a chassis with HD audio module in the front panel to support an 8-channel audio output.
Gigabit LAN solution
The onboard LAN controller is a highly integrated Gb LAN controller. It is enhanced with an
ACPI management function to provide efficient power management for advanced operating
systems.
100% All High-quality Conductive Polymer Capacitors
This motherboard uses all high-quality conductive polymer capacitors for durability, improved
lifespan, and enhanced thermal capacity.
1.1.2 ASUS DIGI+ VRM
Digital Power Design for the CPU
ASUS motherboards using the Intel ® H61 chipset employ precise digital voltage regulation
for the CPU, called DIGI+ VRM (Voltage Regulation Modules) digital power design. The
CPU voltage and VRM frequency are adjusted via either carefully developed automated
modes, or by using user-defined profiles. The effect is that DIGI+ VRM technology ensures
greater energy efficiency and the best possible PC stability. Engineered and tested to assure
unmitigated performance, ASUS H61 boards with DIGI+ VRM remain efficient and stability,
for reliable application in every scenario.
EPU
EPU (Energy Processing Unit), the world’s first real-time system power-saving chip,
automatically detects the current system load and intelligently moderates power usage. It
offers a system-wide energy optimization, reduces fan noise, and extends the component’s
lifespan.
