Features

TUF Gaming Alliance TUF Gaming Alliance is the marque of collaboration between ASUS and major PC-component manufacturers, including brands like Ballistix, Cooler Master, Corsair, G.Skill, In Win and Themaltake.	Performance Level Up With Fan Xpert 2+ you're able to control system fans based on inputs from up to three temperature sources. Choose your temperature sources and thresholds, from motherboard and CPU to GPU, and leave Fan Xpert 2+ to do the rest.	Ultrafast Transfer Speed With dual backward-compatible USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-A, you'll experience ultimate connection flexibility and blazing data-transfer speeds of up to 10Gbps. With x4 PCI Express 3.0 bandwidth, M.2 supports up to 32Gbps data-transfer speeds.

TUF Components Military-grade TUF chokes deliver rock-steady power to the CPU, helping to improve system stability. TUF Capacitors feature+20% temperature tolerance.	TUF Protection SafeSlot is the PCIe slot reinvented by ASUS and engineered to provide superior retention and shearing resistance. Manufactured in a single step using a new insert-molding process, SafeSlot integrates fortifying metal for an inherently stronger slot, which is then firmly anchored to the PCB through additional solder points.	Outshine The Competition A well-tuned system deserves a matching aesthetic. ASUS Aura offers full RGB lighting control with a variety of functional presets for the built-in RGB LEDs as well as strips connected to the onboard RGB headers. And it can all be synced with an ever-growing portfolio of Aura-capable hardware.
