LANGuard

Pumped-up throughput. 2.5X higher surge tolerance.

ASUS LANGuard is hardware-level networking protection that employs signal-coupling technology and premium anti-EMI surface-mounted capacitors ensuring a more reliable connection and better throughput; plus electrostatically guarded and surge-protected components for greater tolerance to static electricity and improved protection against surges.

Overvoltage Protection

World-class circuit-protecting power design

An exclusive circuit design with built-in voltage regulators to protect your chipset; connectivity ports; and audio codecs from damage caused by unexpected high-level voltages from unstable or inferior power supplies.

DIGI+ VRM

Precision control for stable power!

ASUS-exclusive DIGI+ VRM intelligently delivers power to the processor based on real-time demands; reducing energy waste and improving system stability.

Stainless-Steel Back I/O

3X corrosion-resistance for greater durability

Corrosion-resistant stainless steel back I/O panels bonded with chromium oxide have a lifespan that's three times longer than ordinary panels.

ESD Guards

Electrostatic discharge protection

ASUS ESD Guards prevent damage from electrostatic discharge; up to +/- 10kV for air discharge and +/-15kV for contact discharge; arranged in an active-protective-circuit design that prolongs the life of components.

Against moisture and corrosion

Against moisture and corrosion

This innovative moisture-resistant coating provides motherboard protection; and combats the higher levels of humidity that build up in densely-populated environments; such as factories; libraries; data centers and internet cafes. It even minimizes internal corrosion by preventing the adhesion and migration of moisture - prolonging the life of your motherboard.

24/7 Reliability Test

Optimized for twenty-four seven operations; the motherboard is tested under temperature up to 45 degreeC and humidity up to 80% to ensure it can handle diverse temperature and humidity range of different location.
