PCI Express® 3.0
PCI Express® 3.0 (PCIe 3.0) is the latest PCI Express bus standard with improved encoding schemes that provide twice the performance of current PCIe 2.0. Total bandwidth for a x16 link reaches a maximum of 32GB/s, double the 16GB/s of PCIe 2.0 (in x16 mode). As such, PCIe 3.0 provides users unprecedented data speeds, combined with the convenience and seamless transition offered by complete backward compatibility with PCIe 1.0 and PCIe 2.0 devices. PCIe 3.0 will become a must-have feature for users who wish to improve and optimize graphic performance, as well as have the latest technology available to them. * Actual PCIe 3.0 speed varies with the installed CPU type.
UEFI BIOS (EZ Mode): Flexible & Easy BIOS Interface
Exclusive to ASUS motherboards, its UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) is the first ever mouse-controlled graphical BIOS interface designed with dual selectable modes. It delivers a user-friendly interface that goes beyond traditional keyboard-only BIOS controls to enable more flexible and convenient input with quick scrolling. Users can easily navigate the UEFI BIOS with the smoothness of their operating system. Quick and simple overclocking and setup sharing is facilitated by the F12 hotkey BIOS snapshot feature. The exclusive EZ Mode displays frequently-accessed setup info, while the Advanced Mode is for experienced performance enthusiasts that demand far more intricate system control, including detailed DRAM information.
Intel® Smart Response Technology: SSD Speed with HDD Capacity
Intel® Smart Response Technology boosts overall system performance. It uses an installed fast SSD (min 18.6GB available capacity) as a cache for frequently accessed data. Harness the combination of SSD-like performance and response with hard drive capacity, that's 4X faster than a HDD-only system. * Support Intel® Smart Response Technology on 2nd generation Intel® Core™ processor family

Great motherboard
Reviewed by Anonymous Review Posted 02/04/2012
Very good motherboard. Installed an I7 2700k processor and 16gb memory.
try not to use the driver cd supplied as the "blue tooth" drivers ended up corrupting my windows 7 install. Instead download the latest ones from the Asus website.
Highly recommended.

Good mobo!
Reviewed by Bobby. Review Posted 02/03/2012
Okay installing this was a breeze, it has VGA, CPU, Memory warning lights to tell if you the device is not connected/failed. Also this reboots up like 2-3 times because the Marvel controller searching for SSD (Disable this in bios if not using Marvel SSD device).
Overclocking is good, just do it in Bios not in Windows. Windows overclocking keep changing the overclock down every time you restart/shutdown.
I was looking forward to the bluetooth connection to your phone which didn't work to control the pc.
