Right next to the Probelt connections are the last two dipswitches that users will likely ever see. Asus also includes “Probelt” voltage monitoring points for the CPU, memory, and PCI-E connections. Monitoring the board is a bit easier with the Q-Code LED display which provides boot and error notifications. I just find it fascinating that Asus would put in a special button just for that functionality.
Users will have to try the different settings to see if it is to their liking. The SoundStage button cycles through four distinct audio presets which are aimed at different gaming types (FPS, racing, etc.). There is a start and reset buttons, the MemOK! button that retards memory timings in case of boot issues, the KeyBot button (a really handy keyboard macro setup program that has gotten rave reviews), the Clear CMOS button, and finally the Sonic SoundStage button. The board has a multitude of buttons throughout that allows users to more directly control many of the functions. When running it has the red line where the PCB is isolated. The audio portion looks pretty sharp and functional. It also has a built-in bandwidth test to see where potential bottlenecks will lay. The GameFirst III program not only can provide QoS, but it can graphically display network usage and information. Asus has designed in ESD guards to help lower the likelihood of destroying the onboard Ethernet with a zap of electricity generated by a user’s socks on carpet. Plugging in and out a network cable and not being grounded can lead to a surge heading into the port. Ethernet ports are typically the most common point of failure on motherboards due to electrostatic discharge. There is a bit more to it than just that.

Asus fills a big hole in its FM2+ lineup.Īsus has leaned upon the Intel Gig-E controller and combined it with their GameFirst III software to do QoS work on the packets.
