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.
ESD Guards
Electrostatic discharge protection
ASUS ESD Guards prevent damage from electrostatic discharge,
up to +/- 10kV for air discharge and +/- 6kV for contact discharge, arranged in
an active-protective-circuit design that prolongs the life of components.
Proven Compatibility
Tested to be compatible with 1,000+ CPUs, DDR4 memory modules, graphics cards
and more
Having the freedom to pick and choose the parts that go into
your machine is at the heart of PC DIY. Our extensive certification program

Noise isolation
Audio shielding ensures precision analog/digital separation
and greatly reduced multi-lateral interference.
Separate layers for left and right tracks ensures both channels deliver
consistent, equal quality.
Audio Enjoyment
Premium Japanese audio capacitors provide warm, natural, and
immersive sound with exceptional clarity and fidelity.
Energy Efficient Design
EPU
With the Energy Processing Unit you'll enjoy system-wide
power savings — with CPU-wattage reductions of up to 12W*! The EPU
automatically optimizes power consumption and maximizes savings with Away mode:
A setting that creates an extreme energy-saving scenario by shutting down
unused I/O controllers and reducing power to the graphics cards while you're
away.
Intel Optane Memory Ready
Intel® Optane™ Memory* is a revolutionary (non-volatile
memory) technology supported by Prime 200-series motherboards. Intel Optane
Memory modules accelerate attached storage to reduce boot and load times, so
everything feels faster and more responsive.
*Supports 7th Generation Intel® processors. Requires driver
and BIOS update.

or application drive, making your whole PC or professional apps work as fast as
possible.
Instant front-panel USB 3.0
Experience
We've put USB 3.0 right where you need it - two super-speed
ports on the front panel. Experience data-transfer speeds up to 10X faster than
USB 2.0 with instant plug-and-play connectivity, so no more back-breaking
contortions in the hunt for hard-to-reach rear ports!
USB Type-C for convenient
connectivity
USB Type-C delivers futureproof device compatibility and
