    Features

    EPU If you activate the EPU this chip monitors all possible voltages and clock speeds and automatically sets them to guarantee an energy efficient operation of you system.
       
    TPU As soon as one activates the TPU this chips monitors all possible voltages and clock speeds using the according software. The difference to the EPU is that TPU will provide as much performance as possible. Therefore it can increase clock speeds and voltages.
       
    Digi+ Power Control Meanwhile ASUS also provides its boards with digital power designs. Using the the right software, in this case ASUS DIGI+ VRM Utility it is not only possible to adjust voltages whilst being in Windows on can now also control impedances.
       
    SSD Caching According to ASUS SSD caching can boost your system performance by a factor of three. Therefore it uses a small SSD as a caching drive and all the small data is being put onto the SSD which offers way more IOPS than a hard drvie.
