Chapter 1
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.
100% All High-quality Conductive Polymer Capacitors
This motherboard uses all high-quality conductive polymer capacitors for durability, improved
lifespan, and enhanced thermal capacity.
1.3.2 Dual Intelligent Processors 3 with Smart DIGI+
The world’s first Dual Intelligent Processors from ASUS pioneered twin onboard chips - TPU
(TurboV Processing Unit) and EPU (Energy Processing Unit). Dual Intelligent Processors
3 builds on that foundation with new SMART DIGI+ power control, which includes multiple
digital voltage controllers, allowing ultra-precise tuning for the CPU, iGPU and DRAM. It’s
upgraded with one-click extreme performance optimization and selectable CPU wattage
levels, offering easier power control and better power savings with the user-friendly AI Suite
II utility.
Smart DIGI+ Technology
Get incredible performance increases with TPU and the all-new SMART DIGI+.
Up to 85% CPU O.C. Performance Boost
Always at the forefront of digital power design, ASUS propels you into the future
standard of power management by SMART DIGI+ Technology, which works with the
TPU (TurboV Processing Unit) to give an exceptional increase in CPU overclocking
performance. When combined, you can adjust CPU ratios manually in the TPU and
enable the all new SMART DIGI+ Key by a single click to see an extreme boost in TPU
frequency up to 85%.
CPU Power Wattage cut in half!
SMART DIG+ Technology also includes the Smart CPU Power Level profile, which
reduces CPU power consumption to a specific indicated wattage with a single click,
creating a cooler and quieter PC. With the support for the next generation Intel ® VRD
12.5 power design, ASUS once again leaps to the future of innovation.
TPU
The Ultimate Turbo Processor
Unleash your performance with ASUS’ simple onboard switch or AI Suite II utility. The TPU
chip offers precise voltage control and advanced monitoring through Auto Tuning and TurboV
functions. Auto tuning offers a user friendly way to automatically optimize the system for fast,
yet stable clock speeds, while TurboV enables unlimited freedom to adjust CPU frequencies
and ratios for optimized performance in diverse situations.
