Dual Intelligent Processors 2 with DIGI+ VRM
Digital Power Design: The New Standard The world’s first Dual Intelligent Processors from ASUS pioneered the use of two onboard chips - EPU (Energy Processing Unit) and TPU (TurboV Processing Unit). New generation Dual Intelligent Processors 2 with DIGI+ VRM digital power design launch control into a new era.
The digital architecture delivers twice the precision power, intelligently adjusting PWM voltage and frequency modulation with minimal power loss through BIOS tuning and an exclusive user interface to increase the board’s overclocking range while performance reaches its full potential. It also adjusts VRM frequencies dynamically, cutting radiation interference by half and decreasing Vcore power noise for CPU to enhance system stability through enabling VRM spread spectrum. ASUS DIGI+ VRM digital power design empowers users with superior flexibility and perfect precision to ensure optimized performance, extreme system stability and greater power efficiency.
DIGI+ VRM
Herald the Arrival of a New Digital Power Design Era VRM, or voltage regulator modules, are considered among the most essential motherboard design components. They supply the voltage demanded by the CPU, and a good VRM must intelligently detect actual CPU power draw to provide precise power accordingly. ASUS DIGI+ VRM is an innovative, industry-leading technology that fully integrates Intel® VRD12 specifications on a native level, greatly enhancing power to go far beyond the limits of analog designs.
ASUS DIGI+ VRM design features a digital programmable microprocessor onboard and upgrades motherboard power delivery to a digital standard. The 16+2 digital architecture delivers twice the precision power, intelligently adjusting PWM voltage and frequency modulation with minimal power loss through BIOS tuning and exclusive user interface to increase over-clocking range while performance reaches its full potential. It also adjusts frequencies dynamically, cutting radiation interference by half to enhance system stability through enabling spread spectrum. The DIGI+ VRM digital power design empowers users with superior flexibility and perfect precision to ensure optimized performance. extreme system stability, and greater power efficiency.
Advantages of ASUS DIGI+ VRM Digital Power Design Unlike previous VRD versions, Intel® VRD12 uses digital signals (SVID). To ensure perfect power delivery, ASUS specially designed DIGI+ VRM to sync completely with this new technology.
Faster sensing and response: ASUS DIGI+ VRM acts as a digital controller to perfectly match digital power signal (SVID) requests from the CPU, eliminating digital-to-analog conversion lag.
Better cooling: exclusive dual driver and MOS design doubles the heat dissipation area with expanded cooling surfaces for improved thermal performance. Spacing components out over a wider area speeds up cooling to enhance reliability and stability.
2X CPU power supply: the same exclusive dual driver and MOS design also provides twice the CPU power supply with two complete power stages. This results in far greater phase load tolerances, so the CPU never has to wait for power to arrive, increasing performance and overclocking potential.
Active Cooling for Extreme Durability- Super Cool VRM ASUS DIGI+ VRM delivers intelligent power management to balance loadings for each power phase by detecting VRM temperatures to ensure longer component lifespan and better cooling.
TPU
The Ultimate Turbo Processor Unleash your performance with ASUS' simple onboard switch or AI Suite II utility. The TPU chip offers precise voltage control and advanced monitoring through Auto Tuning and TurboV functions. Auto Tuning offers a user friendly way to automatically optimize the system for fast, yet stable clock speeds, while TurboV enables unlimited freedom to adjust CPU frequencies and ratios for optimized performance in diverse situations.

I got this board with the i7 2600K and it is a great combo. No problems at all. I even updated the bios to the latest one and that was easy too. Great installation guide as well: Everybody else should have one like this one, very good pictures. No complaints. Just make sure that you have a case that can acomodate the USB 3.0 box that comes with.

Got this as a replacement for the earlier Revision that was part of the Intel Chipset recall. The easy of setup is great, esp. outside a case with the power and reset buttons available on the MB and the status LEDs. Overclocking support is great although I was only able to reliably OC the 2600K to 4.6GHz v.s. 4.7GHz with the previous revision, not a big difference.
The AI suite software seems a bit buggy since it misreports voltage and temp values (e.g. temps going to 0 or negative).

This motherboard is great. It's bios is so simple its literally a one click overclock. Hihgly recomend this board to any new person to overclocking

Bought this to be paired with a 2600k and so far I have no complaints. The board has all the feautures I was looking for and they all work as advertised. I haven't tried overclocking yet, but it seems liek it would be veyr easy. Love the bios and the system monitoring tools it came with. I did have some problems on boot up with it selecting the wrong drive but I just reset the settigns to defualt and then went and changed them again and everything has been fine ever since.

This is unarguably one of these best P67 boards out there. Paired with a Core i7 2600k, I can easily reach 4.8GHz without much tweaking. The bluetooth dongle is a nice little feature along with the the amount of ports on the back. I didn't mind the old keyboard only bios but this new one is just alot easier to navigate and prettier to look at. Price is a little steep even after PM. Would definitely be 5 Stars if it was $200.

Purchased this motherboard after reading reviews and this motherboard is awesome. Great for overclocking and of course USB 3.0s were a bonus. Cannot complain except for the overclocking to maximum issue, which causes the computer to power-on then off.
Highly recommended for anyone looking to buy this board. Awesome price and quality.

Overall, I am pretty satisfied with this board. That wasn't always the case though. The first once burned out on me, and exchanged that for the current one. Then I was experiencing random freezes every two or three days. Took me a while tweaking the bios setting before that went away. Now that everything is stable, I am happy. Took me a while to get there though.

Great board. Got it paired with a 2600k. Some people don't liek the bios. I do though. Major upgrade from my Abit NF7-S (loved that board though). This has more features then i will ever need probably. But worth every penny.
