2. ASUS True 16-Phase Power Design (Quad Quad-Phase Power Design)
Unprecedented Innovation with the best quality component for best performance
The breakthrough technology of 16-phase VRM design is bringing to the ASUS motherboards. 16-phase power design can reach the power efficiency up to 96%+, and dispel heat generated by VRM module effectively, and lower temperature compared to other VRM solution. With all Japan-made best quality power components such as low RDS (on) MOSFETs, Ferrite core chokes with lower hysteresis loss, and high quality conductive polymer capacitors, ASUS 16-phase VRM design also ensure longer component life, minimum power loss, and help to reach the superior overclocking score ever than before.

3. Quad Hardware RAID Ports
- 2x2 Hardware RAID ports for RAID 0, 1
- Automatically real-time backup
- 4x faster hard drive transfers
- No driver & BIOS setup needed, just use friendly GUI to configure

4. Quad Gigabit LAN
Teaming function - by grouping four network connections together as one single connection, the bandwidth is four times faster up to 4Gb
Redundant function - when one link fails, the other three links will continue working to keep network connected
To be a home gateway and game server at the same time!

5. Quad Security
(1) Electrostatic Discharge Protection (ESD):
ESD protection devices divert a potentially damaging charge away from sensitive circuitry
(2) Overcurrent Protection:
Installed polyswitch as fuses to prevent excessive or dangerous temperature rise in conductors
(3) ASUS Data Guardian (TPM)
Double protectionHardware module + Software keys
Create a virtual folder that is protected by an encryption key
(4) Anti-virus software bundled
Bundle Norton Internet Security anti-virus application
*The bundled software is 90 days trial version

6. Quad CrossFire Support
ATIs CrossFireX boosts image quality along with rendering speed, eliminating the need to scale down screen resolutions to get the high image quality you want. CrossFire ignites with the higher antialiasing, anisotropic filtering, shading, and texture settings you desire. Adjust your display configurations, experiment with your advanced 3D settings, and check the effect with a real-time 3D-rendered preview within ATIs Catalyst Control Center to rule your CrossFireX system.

7. Quad-Core CPU Support
Supports Intel Core 2 Quad processors with FSB up to 1600 MHz

8. Quad BIOS Backup
3 BIOS duplicates + 1 original BIOS
Allowed BIOS recovery through support DVD, USB flash, or hard disk

ASUS EPU-6 Engine
System Level Energy Saving
The new ASUS EPU - the worlds first power saving engine, has been upgraded to a new 6 engine version, which provides total system power savings by detecting current PC loadings and intelligently moderating power in real-time. With auto phase switching for components (which includes the CPU, VGA card, memory, chipset, hard drives and CPU cooler/system fans), the EPU automatically provides the most appropriate power usage via intelligent acceleration and overclocking - helping save power and money.
