1.4 Special features

1.4.1 Product highlights

Latest processor technology

This motherboard supports the latest Intel®Xeon®Processor E3-1200 v5/ Core™i3 series

in LGA1151 package, which has memory and PCI Express controller integrated to support

2-channel (4 DIMMs) DDR3 memory and 16 PCI Express 3.0 lanes. The Intel®Xeon®E3-

1200 v5 have improve CPU performance and integrated voltage regulators making it one of

the most powerful and energy efcient CPU in the world.

Intel®Turbo Boost

Intel®Turbo Boost automatically allows the processor to run faster than the marked frequency

if the processor is operating below its power, current, and temperature specication

limits. This technology increases performance of both multi-threaded and single-threaded

workloads.

Intel®Hyper Threading

The thread-level parallelism on each processor makes more efcient use of the processor

resources, higher processing throughout and improved performance on today's multi-

threaded software.

Intel®EM64T

The motherboard supports Intel®processors with the Intel®EM64T (Extended Memory 64

Technology). The Intel®EM64T feature allows your computer to run on 64-bit operating

systems and access larger amounts of system memory for faster and more efcient

computing.

DDR4 memory support

The motherboard supports DDR4 memory that features faster clock frequencies and higher

data transfer rates of 2133 MT/s (million transfers per second). DDR4 offers a lower voltage

standard of 1.2V that reduces memory power demand and provides improved performance.

1.3 Serial number label

Before requesting support from the ASUS Technical Support team, you must take note of the

motherboard's serial number containing 12 characters xxS2xxxxxxxx shown as the gure

below. With the correct serial number of the product, ASUS Technical Support team members

can then offer a quicker and satisfying solution to your problems.

PCI Express 3.0

PCI Express 3.0 (PCIe 3.0) is the PCI Express bus standard that provides twice the

performance and speed of PCIe 2.0. It provides an optimal graphics performance,

unprecedented data speed, and seamless transition with its complete backward compatibility

to PCIe 1.0/2.0 devices.

Intel®I210AT LAN Solution

The motherboard comes with four Gigabit LAN controllers and ports which provide a total

solution for your networking needs. The onboard Intel®I210AT Gigabit LAN controllers use

the PCI Express interface and could achieve network throughput close to Gigabit bandwidth.

Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology (EIST)

The Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology (EIST) intelligently manages the CPU resources

by automatically adjusting the CPU voltage and core frequency depending on the CPU

loading and system speed or power requirement.

Serial ATA III technology

The motherboard supports the Serial ATA III 6 Gb/s technology through the Serial ATA

interface and Intel®C236 chipset. Get enhanced scalability, faster data retrieval, double the

bandwidth of current bus systems with up to 6Gbps data transfer rates.

USB 2.0 technology

The motherboard implements the Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0 specication that

dramatically increases the connection speed from the 12 Mbps bandwidth on USB 1.1 to a

fast 480 Mbps on USB 2.0. USB 2.0 is backward compatible with USB 1.1.

USB 3.0 technology

The motherboard implements the USB 3.0 technology with data transfer speeds of up to

5Gbps, faster charging time for USB-chargeable devices, optimized power efciency, and

backward compatibility with USB 2.0.

Temperature, fan, and voltage monitoring

The CPU temperature is monitored to prevent overheating and damage. The system fan

rotations per minute (RPM) is monitored for timely failure detection. The chip monitors the

voltage levels to ensure stable supply of current for critical components.

1-6 Chapter 1: Product Introduction

1.4.2 Innovative ASUS features

ASUS Fan Speed technology

The ASUS Fan Speed technology smartly adjusts the fan speeds according to the system

loading to ensure quiet, cool, and efcient operation.

ASUS MIO Audio card

The ASUS MIO audio card is a discrete 8-channel high denition audio (High Denition

Audio previously codenamed Azalia) CODEC that enables the clearest high quality audio

output. It has jack-sensing feature, retasking functions, and multi-streaming technology that

simultaneously send different audio streams to different destinations for high-end sound

quality.
