n

• n
  • Teamed Power Stages
    n12+2 power stages combine high-side and low-side MOSFETs and drivers into a single package, delivering the power and efficiency that the latest AMD Ryzen processors demand.

n

• • Digi+ Power Control
    nThe ASUS Digi+ voltage-regulator module (VRM) is one of the finest in the industry and ensures ultra-smooth power delivery to the CPU.

n

• • ProCool II Power Connector
    nThe ProCool socket is built to exacting specifications to ensure flush contact with the PSU power lines, enabling lower impedance and better heat dissipation.

n

• • Choke and Capacitor
    nSuperior alloy chokes and durable capacitors are engineered to resist extreme temperatures, providing a higher level of performance than the industry standard.

n

• • The 6-layer PCB
    nThe 6-layer PCB quickly dissipates heat around the VRM to improve overall system stability and give the CPU more overclocking headroom.

n

nCool to the Core
nThe VRM and M.2 heatsink designs ensure effective cooling of the CPU and SSD to ensure system stability and fast storage performance for seamless content creation workflows.
n

• n
  • VRM Heatsink & Thermal Pad
    nLarge, high-mass heatsinks with an extensive surface area along with high-quality thermal pads help transfer heat from VRM and choke areas to improve heat dissipation.

n

• • M.2 Heatsink
    nBoth M.2 drives sit under a passive heatsink to ward off the throttling that can occur with sustained transfers.

n

• • Stack Cool 3+
    nLayers of 2-ounce copper draw heat away from critical components to keep them at their optimal operating temperatures.

n

nIndustry-Leading Security
nAdvanced security from ASUS Control Center Express to protect your data and system.
n

• n
  • USB Port Management Enable or disable the USB port or set it to Read Only to prevent data leaks.

n

• • Software Blacklist A software blacklist is also available to prevent running of high-risk applications for IT security.

n

• • Registry Editor On/Off Remotely disable the Registry Editor on client devices to prevent unauthorized changes to system configurations for enhanced security.

n

nProArt Gives You More
nProArt-exclusive software utilities deliver intuitive system monitoring, audio and networking enhancements that smooth your workflow.
n

• n
  • Two-Way AI Noise Cancelation
    nWith working-from-home becoming the new normal, clear online communication is critical, even for content creators. Our latest audio utility leverages a massive deep-learning database to reduce background noise from the microphone* and incoming audio. Distracting keyboard clatter, mouse clicks and other ambient noises are smartly pared back so you can hear and be heard with crystal clarity while in calls.

n

• • ProArt Creator Hub
    nA user-friendly interface designed to enhance your workflow through central system monitoring and control of all connected ProArt Series products, including motherboards and displays.
