Features

PCI Express 3.0
PCI Express 3.0 is the PCI Express bus standard with improved encoding schemes that provides twice the performance of current PCIe 2.0. PCIe 3.0 provides user's unprecedented data speeds, combined with the convenience and seamless transition offered by complete backward compatibility with PCIe 1.0 and PCIe 2.0 devices.
Intel Smart Response technology
Intel Smart Response technology boosts overall system performance. It uses an installed fast SSD as a cache for frequently accessed operations, speeding up hard drive/main memory interaction. Key benefits are expedited hard drive speeds, reduced load and wait times and maximized storage utilization. Power consumption also goes down by reducing unnecessary hard drive spin, an important part of green ASUS eco-friendly computing.
Powerful combination of analog and digital design elements
Extreme engine Digi+ equipped with high performance digital VRM design can easily achieve the ultimate performance with adjustable CPU PWM frequency. It expedites heat dissipation and achieves better electric conduction keeping critical components reliable. Now you'll be able to push your spanking Intel CPU to the limit, hitting benchmark scores that others only dream of. Extreme engine Digi+ balances the need for voltage and the desire for rock solid performance to bring the ultimate user experience.
One click, easily share your BIOS settings
ROG offers a whole EFI BIOS feature to handle the demands of an overclocking experience. Maximums IV extreme features ROG BIOS print which allows users to easily share their BIOS settings to others with the press of a button. The days of using a camera to take BIOS screenshot are over.
Experience the fast network connectivity
The LAN solution from Intel has been long known to have a better throughput, lower CPU utilization as well as better stability. With the Intel Gigabit LAN solutions onboard, the ultimate network experience can therefore be delivered to its users like never before.
