Multiple temperature sources
With Fan Xpert 4 Core you're able to control system fans based on inputs from up to three temperature sources. For example, Fan Xpert 4 Core can be set to spin up the chassis fans in response to the GPU temperature. So, when the gaming action heats up, additional cooling kicks in — just when you most need it. Choose your temperature sources and thresholds, from motherboard and CPU to GPU, and leave Fan Xpert 4 Core to do the rest.

All-in-one water-cooling set
Enables full control of PWM or DC water pumps, perfect for both custom and self-contained cooling setups.

4-pin PWM/DC fan
Every onboard header supports auto-detection of PWM or DC fans.

Smart protection
A dedicated integrated circuit protects each fan header from over-temperature and overcurrent.

Improved DDR4 Stability
ASUS OPTIMEM
ASUS OptiMem preserves memory signal integrity by routing traces and vias to the optimal PCB layer, and our T-Topology trace layout ensures time-aligned signaling by balancing trace lengths between memory slots. These enhancements allow the TUF Gaming motherboards to support a wide range of dual and quad-DIMM memory kits, while providing your rig with the stability it needs to deal with any type of workload - whether you're gaming or running intensive applications.

ASUS OptiMem benefits:
Improved memory stability and compatibility
