   - AI Gear
     To balance both system performance and quietness, AI Gear allows users 
     to choose from profiles to adjust CPU frequency and CPU Core voltage, 
     minimizing system noise and power consumption. Users can change the 
     mode in real-time under operating system to suit their needs. 
   - AI Nap 
     With AI Nap, users can instantly snooze your PC without terminating 
     the tasks. System will continue operating at minimum power and noise 
     when user is temporarily away. It keeps downloading files or running 
     applications in quietest state while you're sleeping. Simply click 
     keyboard or mouse, you can swiftly wake up the system in few seconds. 
   - ASUS Crystal Sound
     This feature can enhance speech-centric application like Skype, online 
     game, video conference and recording. 
   - Noise Filter 
     This feature detects repetitive and stationary noises like computer 
     fans, air conditioners, and other background noises then eliminates it 
     in the incoming audio stream while recording. 
   - Fanless Design 
     Cooling fans, though a popular thermal solution, also come with noise 
     and malfunction likelyhood. ASUS Motherboard's fansless concept is 
     specifically created to provide a cool environment without all the 
     baggage. 
     ASUS has devoted special efforts to address the thermal issues across 
     the motherboard, and most notably the areas that reside the CPU, 
     power, VGA, and chipsets. The heat pipe and heat sinks were tailor 
     made to dissipate heat in the most efficient manner. 
* Maximize Gaming Performance
   - ASUS O.C. Profile 
     The motherboard features the ASUS O.C. Profile that allows users to 
     conveniently store or load multiple BIOS settings. The BIOS settings 
     can be stored in the CMOS or a separate file, giving users the freedom 
     to share and distribute their favorite overclocking settings. 
   - Precision Tweaker 
     It offers ways to raise system performance inch-by-inch and step-by-
     step to achieve maximum performance! This is about getting the most 
     out of your machine and taking pride in your customized computer. 
       - vDIMM - Take control of how much power is going into the memory 
         modules. ASUS gives you 15-step voltage control to the DIMM.
       - vCore - Find out "exactly" how much power your CPU needs. Fine-
         tune it with 0.0125 volts at a time! 
       - SFS (Stepless Frequency Selection) allows 
           - FSB tuning from 200MHz up to 400MHz at 1MHz increment 
           - PCI Express frequency tuning from 100MHz up to 200MHz at 1MHz 
             increments.
   - AI NOS
     Applications such as 3D games and video editing demand a huge chunk of 
     system resource. Inject "nitrous oxide" into your CPU! The patented AI 
     NOS (Non-delay Overclocking System) technology intelligently detects 
     system load and automatically boosts performance for the most 
     demanding tasks. Unlike other dynamic overclocking techniques, AI NOS
     reacts much faster to satisfy your unending need for speeds.
   - PEG Link 
     This latest technology, PEG (PCI Express Graphics) Link Mode, is a 
     unique feature that enables users to boost graphics card performance 
     for superior video quality. PEG Link allows users to raise GPU and VGA 
     memory throughput via the motherboard BIOS the same way system bus and 
     memory bus are tweaked. PEG Link Mode enables powerful video 
     performance on DX8 and DX9 applications. ASUS engineers carefully 
     fine-tuned the parameters for every single PCI-Express card to provide 
     system stability during high-speed graphics operation.
