Mainboard ASUS H97-PRO GAMER

ASUS merilis mainboard terbaru H97-PRO GAMER yang ditujukan bagi kalangan penggila game. Didesain berbasis Chipset H97 dari keluarga Chipset Intel 9 Series dan mendukung processor Intel Haswell dan Broadwell. ASUS H97-PRO GAMER pasti akan sangat suka dengan konektivitas super cepat dari M.2 10 Gbps, SATA Express, Intel Gigabit Ethernet dan teknologi GameFirst 11.

Dukungan Intel Gigabit Ethernet memungkinkan untuk berkomunikasi langsung dengan processor dengan TCP dan UDP serta dapat meningkatkan efisiensi saat bemain game. Hasilnya game akan lebih lebih responsif hingga dua kali lipat dibanding teknologi gaming LAN. Disamping itu teknologi GameFirst menampilkan traffic shaping untuk mengurangi latency sehingga waktu ping menjadi delapan kali lipat.

Pada tata suara ASUS H97-PRO GAMER dipersenjatai Sonic Radar II, teknologi SupremeFX dan menggunakan komponen capasitor ELNA Premium guna memberikan audio berkualitas tinggi. Ada lagi ASUS Gamer Guardian yang akan memberikan proteksi motherboard dari arus pendek. Selain itu masih ada lagi fitur yang sangat penting yaitu DIGI+ VRM untuk meningkatkan performa, efisiensi dan kehandalan.

Desain untuk para gamer tak lengkap rasanya kalau tidak menampilkan fitur multi-GPU, maka ASUS H97-PRO GAMER dilengkapi dengan dukungan teknologi AMD CrossFireX. Support Windows 8.1, Windows 8 dan Windows 7.
