One click takes care of all that complex tuning. ASUS 5-Way Optimisation makes your PC smart. It dynamically optimises essential aspects of the system, providing overclocking and cooling profiles that are tailored for your rig. • An automated tuning utility that optimises overclocking and cooling profiles for your unique system configuration. • Fans stay whisper-quiet for everyday computing, and deliver optimal airflow when the system is crunching through CPU or GPU-intensive tasks. TPU: Unleash your PC's full performance with the ASUS AI Suite 3 utility. A TurboV Processing Unit (TPU) is the intelligence behind our automated system-tuning utility, offering the ability to fine-tune voltages, monitor system stats, and adjust overclock parameters for optimal performance. EPU: With the Energy Processing Unit (EPU) you'll enjoy system-wide power savings. The EPU automatically optimises power consumption and maximises savings with Away mode - a smart setting that creates an extreme energy-saving scenario by shutting down unused I/O controllers. Fan Xpert 4: With ROG Strix Z370-H Gaming you have comprehensive control over fans and all-in-one (AIO) coolers, via either Fan Expert 4 or our media-acclaimed UEFI. Whether you're cooling with air or water, Auto-Tuning mode intelligently configures all parameters with a single click. There's also an Extreme Quiet mode, which reduces all fan speeds to below the default minimum - keeping your system whisper-quiet when performing light tasks. Digi+ Power Control: Digi+ delivers real-time control over voltage droop, switching frequency and power -efficiency settings, allowing you to fine-tune CPU voltage regulation for ultimate stability and performance. Turbo App: This intuitive tool allows you to define CPU overclocking, apply fan profiles, prioritise network data and optimise audio settings at app level ? so your system is perfectly optimised for whatever you're doing. Cooler by Design ROG Strix Z370-H Gaming features the most comprehensive cooling controls ever, configurable via Fan Xpert 4 or the UEFI BIOS: • Multiple temperature sources: Each header can be set to monitor and react to three user-configurable thermal sensors, for workload based cooling - all easily managed by Fan Xpert 4 or the media-acclaimed ASUS UEFI. • 4-pin PWM/DC fan: Every on-board header supports auto-detection of PWM or DC fans. *AIO PUMP are also PWM/DC controllable. • AIO Pump Fan: A dedicated PWM/DC header for self-contained water-cooling setups. DDR4 Overclocking Strength in Numbers ASUS OptiMem preserves memory signal integrity by routing memory traces and vias to the optimal PCB layer, and our T-Topology layout ensures time-aligned signalling by balancing trace lengths between memory slots. These enhancements lead to more headroom for overclocking and improved stability, allowing memory speeds of DDR4-4000 and beyond with all slots populated. OC Design: Asus Pro Clock Technology: Improved Overclocking for Faster Gaming A dedicated base-clock generator designed for 8th Generation Intel® processors allows overclocked base-clock (BCLK) frequencies up to 432MHz* - or even beyond.
