Overview Industry-leading 5X Protection II employs the finest components, excellent circuit design, and exacting standards to guarantee quality and long-term durability of your motherboard with all-round protection. For you, that means exceptional protection and stability for your build the result of decades of engineering experience from the world's leading motherboard brand! 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 electrostaticallyguarded and surge-protected components for greater tolerance to static electricity and improved protection against surges. 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. Short-circuit damage prevention Onboard resettable fuses prevent overcurrent and short-circuit damage. This extends beyond I/O ports to DRAM to safeguard the lifespan of both your system and connected devices. Precision control for stable power ASUS-exclusive DIGI+ VRM intelligently delivers power to the processor based on realtime demands, reducing energy waste and improving system stability. 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 (3X) longer than ordinary panels. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can happen suddenly, and its damaging effects are easily underestimated. ASUS ESD Guards are tested to very high standards, capable of up to +/- 10kV for air discharge and +/-6kV for contact discharge. We employ an active protective circuit design to guard your system against electrostatic interference and damage, providing greater component longevity.
