Take care of complex tuning with just one click. ASUS 5-Way Optimization is a system-wide tuning utility that overclocks the processor and tunes fan speeds to ensure the best balance between cooling and acoustics.
The embedded VRM fan is custom-made for low noise and features durable bearings rated to last up to 60,000* hours. The fan speed curve references VRM temperatures to provide optimal cooling for any workload.* L10 bearing life is a standard metric that specifies the number of hours that 90% of bearings will continue to operate reliability.
Connected by an L-shaped heat pipe, the two VRM heatsinks and aluminum I/O cover provide ample mass and surface area to deal with the thermals of Intel’s latest processors.
The high-density skived-fin heatsinks provide masses of surface area and are positioned to take full advantage of airflow from the VRM fan and CPU cooler.
An integrated M.2 backplate helps ensure that high-performance drives deliver peak performance, even when airflow is restricted.
This powerful ASUS-exclusive utility leverages a massive deep-learning database to reduce background noise from the microphone* and incoming audio while preserving voices. Distracting keyboard clatter, mouse clicks and other ambient noises are removed so you can hear and be heard with perfect clarity while gaming or during calls.
