ASUS offers this top-tier platform-leading solution with the exclusive Dual Intelligent Processors 3 technology integrated featuring new SMART DIGI+ Power Control capable of achieving most precise adjustment, enhanced performance and stability, and O.C. capacity for CPU & RAM. With SMART DIGI+ , users can adjust their system to be highly efficient, providing consistent power delivery to reach higher performance on the Z77 platform than any other vendors out there! EPU conserves energy by intelligently moderating power and load requirements in real-time while TPU provides intelligent system scaling for incredible increases in platform performance while retaining stability. Fan Xpert 2 intelligently provides optimized settings for each fan on your PC and controls fan rotation speeds. The TUF Series delivers preeminent stability, all-around compatibility, and extreme durability, providing the most reliable computing experience. Exclusive TUF features make this motherboard unique and innovative. ASUS implements cutting-edge thermal solutions to provide better air flow and thermal design to assure stable system operation, durability and longevity. The new TUF Thermal Armor, utilizing previous TUF series advantages and improved upon, provides air flow with an innovative vent design. Furthermore, we are also introducing Convection Hole design concept directing hot air to the back of the motherboard significantly cooling down components powering CPU & motherboard. TUF Thermal Radar is a unique solution that embeds 12 hardware sensors on the motherboard to provide real-time thermal detection with detailed information for every critical component, as well as fan speed and voltage monitor on-demand. The latest new feature we will introduce on TUF series is Dust Defender which resists dust build-up and effectively extend slot and connector?s lifespan. ASUS USB 3.0 Boost enables 3 different types of modes (Normal, Turbo, UASP) enhancing overall read/write performance of any USB 3.0/2.0 devices being connected to the system. USB Charger+ provides simple and up to 3x faster charging of all USB portable devices transforming your PC into a flexible power-up station. TUF series motherboard still includes USB BIOS Flashback which enables BIOS flashback with one simple step as well as UEFI BIOS which simplifies platform settings for users with an EZ tuning mode, while offering advanced users an easy to use graphical interface that offers unparalleled performance enhancement options. For ultimate durability, the SABERTOOTH Z77 uses military-standard TUF capacitors, chokes and MOSFETS to ensure superior life-span even under the most demanding conditions. It undergoes a strict server-grade reliability test to ensure stability even under extreme conditions. As a promise of TUF quality and standard, ASUS offers the same 5-year warranty on the Sabertooth Z77 as it does for all ASUS TUF series motherboards.
