ASUS AI Intelligence

ASUS AI Advisor

Using AI technology to understand natural-language questions or scenario descriptions, ASUS AI Advisor allows users to explore the functionality and advanced features of ASUS motherboards in a simple and straightforward way.

ASUS AI Advisor is an ASUS technical expert that's always available to answer your questions. Owners of compatible ASUS motherboards can interact with this AI-powered technology using natural language to learn more about their hardware. For DIY beginners, it can provide easy-to-understand explanations of one-click optimisation features like fan speed tuning, and for seasoned PC-building veterans, it can offer guidance and instructions on the latest features offered by ASUS.

*Availability of ASUS AI Advisor may vary by region.

**AI Advisor functions may vary by platform.

AI Overclocking

ASUS AI Overclocking profiles the CPU and cooling to predict the optimal configuration and push the system to its limits. Predicted values can be engaged automatically or used as a launching ground for further experimentation.

AI Networking II

AI Networking II combines intelligent technologies to continuously optimise network performance, provide trustworthy and seamless connectivity, and unleash the full speed of WiFi 7 (Features may vary by model.).

Traffic Monitor

Armoury Crate's Traffic Monitor tracks your current WiFi channel usage. Move to a less congested channel by clicking the "Channel Switch" button* for improved network performance.

*The "Channel Switch" function requires pairing with an ASUS router. If not paired with an ASUS router, the channel change process can be performed in the "Router IP" section of the Traffic Monitor.

Fast Check

Armoury Crate's Fast Check empowers users to rapidly detect WiFi signal strength.

Direction Finder

Armoury Crate's Direction Finder (The Direction Finder is only compatible with connections in the 5GHz and 6GHz bands) helps users detect the optimal antenna orientation for achieving the best WiFi signal strength.

GameFirst

GameFirst is now integrated into Armoury Crate for an even better user experience. GameFirst optimises networking performance by allocating bandwidth in real time, based on intelligent algorithms designed for various application-customisable usage scenarios and corresponding learning algorithms. The latest update includes dedicated support for NVIDIA® GeForce NOW to ensure the lowest latency possible during intense game streaming cloud gaming sessions. To provide a better user's experience, GameFirst is now integrated into Armoury Crate.

Performance

Overclocking

Dynamic OC Switcher

Dynamic OC Switcher maximises CPU performance by letting you set current and temperature thresholds to automatically switch between a manual overclock for heavy multithreaded workloads and Precision Boost Overdrive for single-threaded tasks. The latest Overclocking Load Guard has an enhanced instantaneous current protection mechanism to prevent users from experiencing system crashes during overclocking.

Example

If a user sets thresholds for current and temperature as shown, once CPU current exceeds 35A, the manual overclock engages until the temperature reaches 80°. At all other times, Precision Boost Overdrive will be used.

Core Flex

Core Flex empowers you to smash limits farther than ever before by letting you control clock, power, and thermals in creative new ways. In its simplest form, you can maximise base clock during lighter loads and set breakpoints to gradually reduce CPU core frequency as temperature or current increases. But the system is extremely adaptable, supporting multiple user-controlled functions that can manipulate p
