1.3.2Innovative ASUS features

Network iControl

With a one-click on/off button, the software currently in use is set as top priority over all other network programs, dominating the network bandwidth with ease. Moreover, you can prioritize your favorite software easily by configuring profiles through the intutive user interface. Within the profile, programs can be pre-scheduled to run in a specific time period to avoid network clogging and long-waits on downloads. Auto PPPoE network connection gives a one-step setup and an intuitive network bandwidth control center.

The Network iControl feature does not support Windows® XP/Vista operating systems.

ASUS UEFI BIOS

ASUS UEFI BIOS offers the first mouse-controlled graphical BIOS designed with selectable modes, providing a user-friendly interface that goes beyond the traditional keyboard-only controls. It also natively supports fully-utilized hard drives larger than 2.2TB in 64-bit operating systems.

ASUS exclusive interface

EZ Mode displays frequently-accessed info. Users can choose system performance settings, and drag and drop boot priorities. Advanced Mode for performance enthusiasts includes detailed DRAM settings via a dedicated memory info page for complete insight.

New upgrade! Quick and easy information for enhanced system control

- F12 BIOS snapshot hotkey for sharing UEFI information and troubleshooting

- New F3 Shortcut for most accessed information

- ASUS DRAM SPD (Serial Presence Detect) information for accessing memory information, detecting faulty DIMMs, and helping with difficult POST situations.

AI Suite II

With its fast user-friendly interface, ASUS AI Suite II consolidates all the exclusive ASUS features into one simple to use software package. It allows you to supervise overclocking, energy management, fan speed control, and voltage and sensor readings. This all-in-one software offers diverse and ease to use functions, with no need to switch back and forth between different utilities.
