Intel Unveils Four Lineups of 300 Series Motherboards Based on LGA 1151 Socket and Z370 Chipset
Provides enhanced '5-Way Optimization' and 'AURA SYNC' technologies, and features the new 'OptiMem Technology'.


ASUS announced that it is officially launching new 300 series motherboards in Korea that support 8th generation Intel Core processors (codename 'Copy Lake').

The newly released 8th generation Intel Core processors are the first mainstream processors to feature 6 cores, providing improved performance through the increased number of cores while maintaining a price range similar to the previous generation.

ASUS 300 Series Motherboard
Based on Intel's Z370 chipset that supports these 8th generation Intel Core processors, ASUS has released a variety of ASUS 300 series motherboards to meet user needs.

Providing balanced performance and stability in any usage environment Two types, delivering outstanding performance in high-end computing such as gaming and overclocking 5 types, faithfully infused with the gaming DNA of the ROG series 6 types, and newly designed as a platform dedicated to mainstream gaming With a total of 15 products across 4 lineups, including 2 types, they are available for purchase through domestic online and offline retailers starting from the launch of the 8th generation Intel Core processors.

The main feature, the '5-Way Optimization' solution, performs system monitoring, cooling optimization, and overclocking settings with a single click. It consists of: ▲ 'TPU (Turbo-V Processing Unit)', a performance adjustment program that can adjust voltage and overclocking values provided to the CPU; ▲ 'EPU', which can efficiently save power by optimizing overall system power consumption; ▲ 'FanXpert 4', which can monitor and control all cooling environments such as water cooling and air cooling; ▲ 'Digi+ VRM', a digital power supply unit that monitors CPU voltage and frequency in real time to maintain optimal conditions; and ▲ finally, 'Turbo App', which helps optimize by listing software frequently used for tasks such as network settings or overclocking.

The 8th generation Intel Core processors have significantly enhanced overclocking capabilities through Intel XTU and Intel XMP technologies for overclocking tuning, including per-core core clocking, real-time memory latency control, enhanced power delivery, and extended PLL Trim control.



To effectively and stably utilize the enhanced performance and features of Intel processors, ASUS supports unique technologies such as 'PRO-Clock Technology' to boost the processor's base clock, '3rd Gen T-Topology' to improve memory overclocking efficiency, and 'OptiMem' for integrated management of data transmitted to memory, thereby providing a higher overclocking environment and the corresponding stability.

In addition, ASUS's proprietary RGB control technology, 'AURA RGB,' has been further upgraded, covering the red/green/blue color areas A 'Temperature' mode has been added, allowing for more detailed settings of brightness and saturation, as well as color changes based on temperature.

In addition, we are distributing the 'AURA SDK KIT' which allows users to develop their own RGB effects, enabling not only individuals but also hardware and game developers to convey various messages through 'AURA RGB' based on this.


ASUS PRIME 300 Series with balanced performance and stability

ASUS's signature PRIME series is a series designed to provide balanced performance and stability. and Two products were released.

ASUS PRIME Z370-A motherboard
The ASUS PRIME 300 series, distinguished by its design featuring a white PCB and a diagonal VRM heatsink, is characterized by its improved motherboard layout and cooling efficiency achieved by combining the functionality of heat dissipation with design elements. It enhances cooling efficiency by adopting a multi-layer heatsink design to dissipate heat from the VRM area. Additionally, to further reduce heat during extreme overclocking that places a heavy load on the VRM, a fan holder bracket is included with the product that allows for the installation of a dedicated 50/40mm VRM fan.

In addition, ASUS's proprietary M.2 heatsink is equipped to dissipate heat from the M.2 SSD. Designed with a stylish metallic color, this heatsink helps lower the temperature of M.2 devices by up to 20 degrees, dissipating the heat generated by M.2 SSD usage and stabilizing data stability and storage performance.

It is equipped with the 'CRYSTAL SOUND 3' sound solution, uses RealTek's S1220A audio codec just like the previous generation, and is equipped with impedance sensors for front and rear headphone outputs.

In addition, the 'DTS Headphone:X' solution has been added, optimized for headphone users for video viewing as well as gamers. Through a collaboration with DTS, it supports various types of headphones and allows anyone to easily set up and apply it.

The ASUS ROG MAXIMUS 300 Series, powerful just by its name

The ROG MAXIMUS series, a motherboard that is the ideal for high-end users worldwide, Starting with , , , 의 4개 라인업 5개 제품이 출시를 앞두고 있다.

ASUS ROG MAXIMUS X HERO 메인보드
이전 세대 ROG MAXIMUS IX Extreme, Formula 등에 최초로 탑재되어 호평 받은 바 있는 'PCB 일체형 I/O 쉴드'는 이제 MAXIMUS X 시리즈 전 제품에 적용된다.
If existing DIY users have experienced the inconvenience of getting injured or damaging the case while assembling the I/O shield during PC assembly, the MAXIMUS series is designed with the shield attached integrally to the I/O port, completely resolving these inconveniences.
In addition, proprietary water cooling headers are provided for PC users of water cooling solutions, which have become a recent trend. Not only can the temperature of the coolant passing through the water cooling block or fitting be detected in real time through the inlet/outlet headers, but the flow rate of the coolant can also be detected through the flow rate detection headers. The coolant-related information that can be monitored through each sensor can be checked collectively through the 'FanXpert 4' software, and settings such as adjusting the flow rate can also be changed.
SupremeFX Audio applied to the ROG MAXIMUS series utilizes display overlay information via Sonic Radar technology to intuitively inform you of the locations of enemies and teammates in the game, providing information for victory along with high-quality sound.

ASUS ROG STRIX 300 Series: Capturing Both Gaming and Style

The ROG STRIX series being released this time is characterized by covering all types of form factors, including standard ATX, mATX, and MiniITX systems, and introduces a total of six products.

Compatible with the standard ATX form factor , , These are released individually, and based on mATX , A, finally, based on Mini ITX It will be released.

ASUS ROG STRIX Z370-E GAMING Motherboard
Continuing the tradition of powerful hardware performance and stylish colors of the existing ROG STRIX series, the Z370-E Gaming features a silver-gray heatsink, the Z370-F Gaming a metallic gray color, and the Z370-H Gaming red and blueThe rack color combination gives a more glamorous and strong impression.
In addition, the unique Katana Cut heatsink design exclusive to ROG STRIX and the M.2 heatsink design are maintained identically to previous generation products, continuously preserving the identity of this lineup, and it is configured to accommodate two M.2 SSDs for optimal performance for gamers.
In order to always deliver the best performance in the recent gaming environment, which demands high-spec and high-performance systems day by day, the ROG STRIX series is equipped with highly durable components and hardware protection solutions that can withstand extreme environments.
The DRAM overcurrent protection fuse installed in all ROG STRIX series serves to block short circuits or overcurrents that may occur during DRAM usage, and the VRM and power supply capacitors utilize only rigorously tested components to ensure that overall system performance is not affected even by rapid temperature changes ranging from -55 degrees to +105 degrees. In addition, the I/O panel is also coated with chrome plate, boasting durability that is more than three times better than that of a standard panel.

Gaming motherboards with rugged durability, ASUS TUF GAMING Series
