ASUS Turbo Key allows you to turn the PC power button into an overclocking button. Turbo Key can boost performance without interrupting your ongoing work or games, with a single touch

You'll be able to use the Precision Tweaker 2 to adjust the the NB voltage, FSB termination voltage, CPU PLL voltage, and DRAM voltage in 0.02V steps for fine tuning of your overclocking configuration

Drive Xpert allows you to arrange hard drive backups and enhance hard drive transfer rates from an intuitive graphical user interface, without the need to go through BIOS setup or drivers

CrashFree BIOS 3 allows you to restore a BIOS that has become corrupted via a backup of the BIOS file stored on a USB flash drive, eliminating the need to purchase a new BIOS chip in the event of corruption

ASUS Q-Shield installs without "fingers" for extra convenience, protecting your system against static electricity and Electronic Magnetic Interference (EMI)

The ASUS Q-Connector makes it easy to connect or disconnect chassis front panel cables in a single step. The unique adapter eliminates the need to plug cables in individually, allowing for quick and accurate connection

O.C. Profile allows you to store and load multiple BIOS settings, allowing you to share your favorite overclocking settings with fellow gamers

EZ Flash 2 allows you to update your BIOS from a USB flash disk, eliminating the need to use a floppy disk or OS-based flash utility to bring your system up to date

Audio noise filter detects repetitive and stationary noises, such as computer fans, air conditioners, and other background noises, eliminating them when recording using a microphone

Integrated DTS Surround Sensation UltraPC audio delivers 5.1 surround sound to most common PC audio setups, including stereo speakers and headphones. In addition to virtual surround sound, the audio system provides a bass enhancement feature to better reproduce low frequency sound, and a voice clarification function to make the human voice clearer, even when there are other loud background sounds present
