1-2 Chapter 1: Product introduction
Chapter 1
Quad-GPU CrossFireX™ Support
This motherboard features the most powerful Intel ® H87 platform that optimizes PCIe
allocation in multi-GPU CrossFireX™ solution, giving you a brand-new gaming enjoyment.
Intel ® Smart Connect Technology
Intel® Smart Connect Technology allows your system to receive updates for your web
applications in real-time even when your system is in sleep mode. This saves wait time for
applications to update and sync with the cloud for a more efficient computing experience.
Intel ® Rapid Start Technology
Intel® Rapid Start Technology allows your computer to quickly resume from a low-power
hibernate state in seconds. Saving your system memory to the designated SSD, it provides
your computer a faster wake-up response time, while still keeping the energy use low.
1.1.2 5X Protection
5X Protection
ASUS motherboard guards your PC with 5X PROTECTION. We use components like
ESD uits tested to strict standards that elimiinate electrostatic interference, polyswitches
(resettable fuses) around DRAM slots to prevent overcurrent and short-circuit damage, and
a corrosion-resistant back I/O shield. All examples of ASUS providing the best possible
reliability and durability.
DIGI+VRM
Voltage regulator modules (VRMs) are among the most essential motherboard components.
A good VRM intelligently delivers CPU power based on actual needs at any given time.
Quickly-changing digital signal (SVID) requests from the CPU may prove too much for
generic VRMs, and ASUS was first with digital controllers featuring faster sensing and
respnse to deliver precise CPU power on demand. This great accuracy reduces energy
waste and improves system stability.
ASUS DRAM Fuse
Onboard polyswitch (resettable fuse) prevents overcurrent and short-circuit damage. This
extends beyond I/O ports to DRAM to safeguard the system and device lifespan.
ASUS ESD Guards
Electrostatic discharges (ESD) can happen suddenly, and their damaging effects are often
underestimated. ASUS ESD Guards offer an active protective circuit design that ensures
electrostatic discharges are properly grounded, providing prolonged component longevity.
ASUS High-Quality 5K Solid Capacitors
ASUS high-quality solid state capacitors assure a 5000-hour lifespan - 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
ehanced thermal capacity.
