The CPU heatsink and thermal pad improve heat transfer from the CPU for better cooling performance.

Improvements in trace routing design provide the latest Intel processors with enhanced access to memory bandwidth. ASUS technology carefully maps memory signal paths across different layers of the board to reduce trace distance and adds shielding zones that significantly reduce crosstalk.

The numerous USB ports support high-spec equipment loaded with peripherals, including USB Type-A ports on the back with fast USB 3.2 Gen 2 for transfer speeds of up to 10 Gbps.

The corrosion-resistant stainless steel rear I/O panels, bonded with chromium oxide, have a lifespan three times longer than conventional panels.

ASUS LANGuard is the hardware-level networking protection that uses signal coupling technology and high-quality surface-mounted capacitors against electromagnetic interference, ensuring more reliable connection and better performance, as well as electrostatically protected and surge-protected components for greater tolerance to static electricity and improved surge protection.
