Learn More TUF ICeThe total cooling commander ASUS TUF engineering team have forged a brand-new microchip that delivers incredibly precise temperature monitoring and fan controls. With the TUF ICe, you can be assured that monitoring of onboard temperature sensors and fan speeds is always ultra-accurate — whether you’re adjusting settings manually or using the automatic one-click optimization. TUF ComponentsCertified for tough duty TUF 10K Ti-Caps+20% temp. tolerance and 5X longer lifetime usage TUF New Alloy Chokes:13.6% cooler for extra-unbeatable durability TUF MOSFETs:military-grade certified MOSFETs with lower RDS(on)* *Low RDS means more power efficient and will thus produce slightly less heat as a by-product of the MOSFET Learn More Server–grade TestsSystematically-tested stability TUF is proud to be a leading total solution provider. That means we test more than just the product itself — we examine system durability as a whole. Our motherboards undergo extreme temperature variations (thermal shock), extensive Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) test and many whole-build server-grade stability tests — so you know that your TUF motherboard can be trusted in all conditions. 5 Years WarrantyGuaranteed reliability Each and every TUF motherboard is built with components certified for military use and undergoes serious server-level burn-in tests, including over 7,000 hours of compatibility checks with over 1,000 devices. TUF is forged solid for your confidence, which is why every board is covered by a 5-year warranty. TUF ESD GuardsStrong ESD protection for extended component lifespan Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can happen suddenly, and its damaging effects are easily underestimated. TUF ESD Guards are tested to standards that are up to 2X higher than industry standards, ensuring electrostatic discharges are properly grounded from all onboard connectivity — and that means greater component longevity. Keyboard and mouse connectors:Additional on-circuit ESD transient-voltage-suppression (TVS) diodes. USB 3.0/2.0 connectors:On-circuit transient-voltage-suppression (TVS) diodes and capacitor protection for surface-mount and dual-inline packages. Audio connectors:Capacitor protection on both front and back audio-output circuits. LAN port:ESD transient-voltage-suppression (TVS) diode protection on the LAN circuit bolstered by an anti-surge LAN connector that increases protection against extreme events, such as lightning strikes.
