All-around Energy Efficiency

With the Energy Processing Unit (EPU), you'll enjoy system-wide power savings. The EPU automatically optimizes power consumption and maximizes savings with Away mode.

Flexible Cooling Controls

Fan Xpert 2+ software provides comprehensive control over system fans. Auto-Tuning mode intelligently configures all parameters with a single click. There's also an Extreme Quiet mode that reduces chassis fan speeds to below the default minimum to keep your system whisper-quiet when performing light tasks. Fans can also be controlled via the UEFI BIOS.

Precise Digital Power Control

The Digi+ voltage-regulator module (VRM) delivers real-time control over voltage droop, automatically switching frequency and power-efficiency settings. It also allows you to fine-tune your CPU for ultimate stability and performance.

Cooler by Design

• Each header can dynamically reference three thermal sensors. Fan Xpert 2+ allows you to map the temperature of supported ASUS graphics cards to optimize cooling for GPU- and CPU-intensive tasks.
• A dedicated integrated circuit protects each fan header from overheating and overcurrent.
• Each onboard chassis fan header supports PWM and DC mode.

Achieve speed with onboard M.2

M.2 Slot supports data-transfer speed up to 32Gbps via x4 PCI Express 3.0 bandwidth. It‘s the perfect choice for an operating system or application drive, providing fast access to data.
