INTEL GIGABIT ETHERNET

MORE THROUGHPUT AND LESS CPU USAGE FOR GREAT GAMING EXPERIENCES

ROG Strix H270F Gaming features the very latest Intel Ethernet (I219-V) for faster, smoother gaming. Intel's LAN has the serious double advantage of reducing CPU overhead while offering exceptionally high TCP and UDP throughput. This significantly reduces the processor's workload, so there's more power for gaming.

LANGUARD

PUMPED-UP THROUGHPUT, BEST SURGE PROTECTION

LANGuard means safer, more reliable connections for your battles! Advanced signal-coupling technology and premium surface-mounting processes join forces to protect your ROG Strix H270F Gaming's connection and deliver pumped-up throughput, plus electrostatically guarded and surge-protected components (ESD Guards) for 1.9x-greater tolerance to static electricity and 2.5x-greater protection (up to 15KV) against surges!
