multi-layer PCB design to isolates analog
audio signals from digital sources. Unique PCB
layout is ideal for exceptional clarity and high
fidelity sound.

Hi-Fi AMP
The built-in amplifier can drive major high-end
headphones with over 100dB loads and offer wide
band-width, low noise, high slew rate and low
distortion audio source from front panel I/O.
Gaming enthusiasts can enjoy a fuller range of
dynamic sound with crisper details and less

HDMI 4K2K
The new 4K2K resolution enables high-definition
image display with four times the resolution of full
HD, 4K2K display is faithfully express bright, highly
detailed content that fills the entire screen with
lifelike images. Connectivity with PCs via a single
HDMI cable for displaying 4K2K data.

DVI
DVI is better than VGA for LCD displays since it is
digital while VGA is analog. For LCD displays, the
picture is digitized pixel per pixel. Through DVI, the
panel gets data for each pixel, so the picture
generated in the Graphics device matches the
pixels on the panel itself.

DX12
DirectX 12 introduces the next version of Direct3D,
the graphics API at the heart of DirectX. Direct3D
is one of the most critical pieces of a game or
game engine, and we've redesigned it to be faster
and more efficient than ever before. Direct3D 12
enables richer scenes, more objects, and full
utilization of modern GPU hardware.

Intel GbE LAN
Unlike ordinary LAN solution, Intel® GbE LAN
offers fewer CPU resource consumption and more
bandwidth stability. Thus, Intel® LAN is the best
choice for performance seekers.

PCIe Gen 3.0
PCIe 3.0 is the next evolution of the ubiquitous and
general-purpose PCI Express I/O standard. At 8GT/s
bit rate, the interconnect performance bandwidth
is doubled over PCIe 2.0, while preserving
compatibility with software and mechanical
interfaces.

SATAIII 6Gbps
SATAIII 6Gbps provides a higher bandwidth to
retrieve and transfer HD media. With this super
speed data transfer, SATAIII allows an incredible
data boost which is 2x faster than the SATA II.

Dual DDR4
The primary advantages of DDR4 over DDR3,
include higher module density, lower voltage
requirements, coupled with higher data transfer
rate.

PCIe 4.0
PCIe 4.0 is the next evolution of the ubiquitous and
general-purpose PCI Express I/O standard. At
16GT/s bit rate, the interconnect performance
bandwidth is doubled over PCIe 3.0, while
preserving compatibility with software and
mechanical interfaces.

PCIe M.2 4.0
PCIe M.2 4.0 is the latest storage interface, it
delivers the highest bandwidth and lower latency.
It is 2 times faster compared with PCIe M.2 3.0.

USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-A
USB 3.2 Gen1 delivers a compelling performance
boosts and can be used to connect multiple
devices without worrying about compatibility. It is
capable of data transfer speeds up to 5Gbps and
backwards compatible with all existing USB
products.

Super Durable Solid Caps
The best quality solid state capacitors with ultra
low ESR design, the Super Durable Solid Caps
doubles the lifespan.

Moistureproof PCB
The PCB will be oxidizing easily by damp or
absorbed moisture, and ionic migration or CAF
(Conductive Anodic Filament) will be generated.
Moistureproof PCB meets high density and high
reliability requirements for moisture proof.

Super LAN Surge Protection
Super LAN Surge Protection, providing LAN port
with more advanced antistatic protection
capabilities by adding an integrated chip to
strengthen electrical stability and prevent damage
from lightning strikes and electrical surges. SLSP
(Super LAN Surge Protection) series motherboard
upgrades the existing system protection standards
with maximum 4X protection comparing to other
board makers.

ESD Protection
ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) is the major factor to
destroy the PC by electrical overstress (EOS)
condition. ESD occurred by PC users when touch
any devices connect to a PC, which may result in
damage to the motherboard or parts. ESD
protection is designed to protect the motherboard
and equipment from damage by EOS.

OC / OV / OH Protection
OC / OV / OH Protection design detects overvoltage
conditions and prevents voltage surges from
spreading in real time. It also actively cuts off the
overvoltage supply to protect your system.

VIVID LED DJ
New VIVID LED DJ with more customizability and
options to control multiple RGB LED lighting zones
independently. Users can control color, speed and
brightness for different modes at ease.
Moreover,have more possibilities for users to
create unlimited creativity with 5050 LED FUN
ZONE which comes with dual RGB LED products.

UEFI BIOS
Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) is a
brand new framework that provides a
revolutionary interface. It is a modern clear and
easy-to-use graphical user interface. The UEFI
comes with a colorful easy-understand icons leads
users into the setup layer directly.

BIO-Flasher
BIO-Flasher is a convenient BIOS update tool. Just
launch this tool and put the BIOS on USB pen
driver before entering the OS. You can update your
BIOS with only a few clicks without preparing an
additional floppy disk or other complicated flash
utility.

A.I FAN
With A.I FAN users can ensure that their gaming PC
can maintain its performance while staying cool.
According to different cooling needs and usage
scenarios, users can control speed modes. Allows
users to have more customizability of fan modes
and automatically detects different temperatures
to make fan operate at defined speed for optimal
cooling performance. Furthermore, A.I FAN support
both PWM and DC voltage fans for more cooling
options.
