Patent Pending OC Socket
Designed to break performance barriers, ASUS OC Socket utilizes
extra pins to connect a proprietary circuit to contacts found on
Haswell-E's land grid array (LGA). Combined with our customized
UEFI, this exclusive feature enables higher DDR4 memory frequencies,
lower latencies and enhanced stability while overclocking, extending
all the way to extreme overclocking conditions, such as Liquid
Nitrogen (LN2). OC Socket is 100% compatible with new Haswell-E LGA
2011-v3 CPUs, ensuring the ideal combination of overclocking
performance and compatibility.
Under 100% load with CPU voltage set to extreme 1.825V

Make your memory go faster
This is the first platform to support DDR4 memory and it's able to drive
memory frequencies to 3200MHz (and beyond when overclocked)!
ASUS-exclusive T-Topology circuit design plus OC Socket provides superb
memory-overclocking capability to unleash the full power of DDR4 by
minimizing coupling noise and signal reflection. With innovative
equidistant memory channels, it delivers the most balanced control and
powerful overclocking compatibility. ASUS works with almost every DDR4
memory vendor to ensure the best compatibility

CPU Performance boost
TPU
Unleash your PC's full performance with a simple two-phase
onboard switch or the ASUS AI Suite 3 utility! The Turbo
Processor Unit (TPU) offers precise voltage control and advanced
monitoring for the CPU and the graphics card, enabling great
freedom to adjust CPU frequencies and ratios for optimized
performance and to exploit the potential out of your graphics
card.
Refer to graphics card QVL
All-round energy efficiency
EPU
With the Energy Processing Unit (EPU) you will enjoy from
system-wide real-time power savings, controlled via a simple
onboard switch or the AI Suite 3 utility. EPU detects and
adjusts power consumption according to the PC's needs —
automatically. It can also reduce CPU wattage to an
indicated level or enjoy even more savings with Away Mode,
which creates an extreme energy-saving scenario by shutting
down unused extra I/O controllers and reduces the graphics
cards' power level while you're away, so the PC consumes
only the energy it needs — and not a drop more!
Advanced fan controls for ultimate cooling and quietness
Fan Xpert 3
Fan Xpert 3 puts 4-pin/3-pin CPU and case fan controls in one
place. It scans each fan's characteristics and delivers custom
settings for each fan based on the dedicated area temperatures
detected by hardware thermal sensors. Make sure every fan
achieves the best balance of cooling performance and low noise.
Fan Xpert 3 supports hardware-level PWM/DC combo mode for both
the CPU and case fans. It even can reduce the CPU fan speed to
below the default minimum, for extra-quiet and power saving
operation during light loads.
Advanced fan controls for ultimate cooling and quietness
Fan Xpert 3
RPM Fixed Mode
Designed for users who wish to reduce noise levels to near 0dB with highly specific fan speed control.
Auto Tuning Mode
Scans fan parameters through exclusive automatic speed detection to provide custom settings for each fan with a single click.
Informative fan controls
Delivers complete information that allows you to take advanced control over each fan.
Precise Digital Power Control
DIGI+ Power Control
Power control is one of the most essential motherboard designs. Intelligent
CPU power draw detection with ASUS DIGI+ Power Control is an innovative,
industry-leading technology that fully complies with Intel® VRD12.5
specifications, increasing overclocking potential, enhancing system
stability, and improving power efficiency with superior flexibility and
accurate control.
Turbo App
App specific optimization for professionals and gamers
Turbo App
Gamers and professionals can get benefit from app specific optimizations by
the exclusive ASUS Turbo App. Its intuitive tuning panel boosts a range of
hardware; overclock your CPU, tune your fans, prioritize network data and
optimize audio settings automatically.
Media-acclaimed UEFI BIOS
The smoothest, slickest mouse-controlled graphical BIOS has been improved to
make it even more appealing. Whether you're a PC novice or a seasoned
overclocker, the EZ and Advanced Modes help you find your way, quickly and
easily.
