TUF Fortifier

The metal base TUF Fortifier strengthens the base of the motherboard and secures the Thermal Armor and the motherboard in place. It reinforces the motherboard’s PCB to support the Thermal Armor, CPU, VGA card, additional expansion cards, and other peripherals. It also makes the motherboard easier to handle and helps protect your hands.

Dust Defender

Dust Defender provides rear I/O filter and special shields that help reduce dust build-up on critical points within slots and connectors, minimizing any harm to the components’ optimal functions, data transfer efficiency, and system performance.

TUF ESD Guards

TUF ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) Guards provides protection against electrostatic discharges, which can damage the motherboard’s components. The ASUS exclusive Anti- Static chip and circuit design, and the I/O shield provide four times better protection and ensure the motherboard’s lifespan.

MemOK!

MemOK!, the remarkable memory rescue tool, allows you to simply press a button to patch memory issues, ensure memory boot compatibility, determine fail-safe settings, and dramatically improve the system’s bootup.
