Product Description

Get TUF core reliability and cooling tech on Intel®B85 mATX motherboard - LGA1150 Socket for 4th Generation Intel® Core™ i7/i5/i3, Pentium®/Celeron® Processors - TUF Thermal Radar Core - Complete System Cooling, Customized Fan Tuning - TUF Components [10K Ti-Caps, Alloy Chokes & MOSFETs; Certified by Military-standard] - Certified for Tough Duty - Server-grade Reliability Test - Promised Reliability with Strict Testing - DIGI+ VRM - Herald the Arrival of a New Digital Power Design Era - ESD Guards - Ultra-protection Against Electrostatic Discharge Thermal Radar Core Complete system cooling, customized fan tuning ASUS TUF Thermal Radar Core enables complete system cooling management – quickly, easily and safely. Customizable controls allow you to adjust fan speeds, allowing the temperature to be tuned with just a single click. And talking of single-click simplicity, live update ensures that your Thermal Radar Core is never out of date – just click the button to check for updates. Thermal Assessment Thermal assessment and precise fan control Thermal Assessment allows you to judge when the CPU zone needs more cooling, making system fan control more precise — because it is based on real temperature information. Sensors record the CPU’s temperature over time, so you can customize fan settings based on your computing habits. Fan Control Manually fan speed management Gives customized settings for each fan, which can be easily changed. You can supervise fan speeds to balance cooling and noise emissions, and fans can be manually managed, individually controlled, and even named. All these promote better cooling, noise reduction, and power saving. Thermal Tuning Easy thermal tuning and live update Thermal Radar Core allows optimized settings for each fan with a click! Changing fan settings is easy via Thermal Radar Core’s simple interface. You can supervise fan speeds to balance cooling and noise emissions, and fans can be managed automatically, promoting better cooling, noise reduction and power saving. With live update, meanwhile, you can ensure that Thermal Radar Core is never out of date – just click the button to check for updates ESD Guards Ultra-protection against electrostatic discharge Electrostatic discharges (ESD) can happen suddenly, and their damaging effects are often underestimated. Exclusive ASUS ESD Guards circuit design and the included I/O shield provide four times the protection to extend component lifespan. Server-grade test All TUF Series motherboards pass a rigorous testing program during development, undergoing extreme temperature and humidity trials. These tests result in completely reliable motherboards that are ready for intense daily computing and heavy duty usage with the utmost stability TUF Components Certified for tough duty TUF 10K Ti-Caps, chokes, and MOSFETs are screened by seven rigorous military-grade tests to ensure superior lifespan even under the most demanding conditions. 10K Ti-Caps Japan-made 10K black metallic Caps Unique Black Metallic capacitors with military-standard certification offer +20% high and low temperature tolerance and 5X longer lifetime usage. Chokes and MOSFETs TUF alloy chokes and MOSFETs Chokes made of high-grade anti-oxidization materials for extra-unbeatable durability. TUF MOSFETs also pass military-grade tests with lower RDS(on), certified for tough duty. New UEFI BIOS – friendlier and more intuitive Full-scale performance tuning with easy BIOS interface Media-renowned UEFI BIOS from ASUS offers the first mouse-controlled graphical interface designed with a special theme for TUF boards, providing a user-friendly interface that goes beyond traditional keyboard-only controls. It also fully-utilizes 2.2TB and larger hard drives in 64-bit operating systems with native support. ASUS-exclusive EZ Mode displays frequently-accessed info, so you can alter 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. ASUS Boot Setting Multiple startup options Thanks to ASUS Windows 8 hardware optimization, ASUS Boot Setting provides better flexibility in customizing your PC’s startup process. You can shorten system boot-up time to 2-seconds* for a smoother user experience under Windows 8, and even previous versions of Windows. Also, you can enter the BIOS directly with one click through a user-friendly interface, and quickly select your preferred system boot up method: either get to the OS in seconds or opt for regular boot up. Whatever your choice, settings are saved and persistent, with no need to choose every time you power on. USB 3.0 BOOST (UASP Support) 170% faster transfer speeds than traditional USB 3.0 ASUS USB 3.0 Boost technology supports UASP (USB Attached SCSI Protocol) USB 3.0 in Windows 8. With USB 3.0 Boost technology, a USB device's transmission speed is significantly increased up to 170%, adding to already fast USB 3.
