Asus Z87-DELUXE DUAL 32GB DDR3 Intel Motherboard

Connect your life – The perfect fusion of desktop, smartphones and pads
ASUS Wi-Fi GO makes enjoying home entertainment and remotely controlling your PC easier than ever! It is the first integration of Wi-Fi hardware and a host of useful connectivity functions in a single intuitive app anyone can make the most of. It’s a one-stop utility that links your desktop with smart devices, which can be used to remotely control your PC for a truly connected lifestyle.

Superfast 802.11ac
Quickly gets Wi-Fi access running at up to 867Mbit/s via new-generation 802.11ac Wi-Fi, which is 3X faster than 802.11n. Included software lets you set up a hotspot fast, without needing an extra router. In addition, the bundled 2.4GHz/5GHz dual-band, two-stream (2T2R) antenna gives you wide coverage.

NFC EXPRESS One-tap gets your PC going
Using Near Field Communication technology (NFC) for instant device pairing, ASUS NFC EXPRESS is an external accessory box that combines several convenient remote access and quick Windows 8 log in functions, activated by simply touching a smart device or the included tag to it.

New UEFI BIOS – friendlier and more Intuitive Exclusive EZ Mode adds useful info to become even easier
Media-renowned UEFI BIOS from ASUS provides the smoothest mouse-controlled graphical BIOS, and now features more intuitive functions to quickly take you to favorite BIOS pages and frequently-accessed settings through custom shortcuts. You can even write quick notes in-BIOS for future reference, view an activity log of setting changes and modifications, and rename SATA ports. EZ Mode has a whole new look, upgraded with extra-friendly capabilities like detailed fan controls, XMP profile settings, SATA information, and fast clock adjustment. Together, these perfect your BIOS experience.

Thunderbolt World’s 1st dual Thunderbolt-certified Z87 motherboard
ASUS is the first to market with Intel® Thunderbolt-certified Z87 motherboards, helping revolutionize display and accessory data speeds. Thunderbolt™ works at 10Gbps, or 2X faster than USB 3.0 and an incredible 20X faster than USB 2.0. And with the ability to daisy-chain up to twelve devices to two Thunderbolt™ ports without a hub or switch, your environment stays clutter-free while performance rises. For example, you can connect multiple Thunderbolt™ storage devices, an HD video capture device, and a monitor to a single Thunderbolt™ port while maintaining maximum throughput with no slowdown. You can also connect DisplayPort, DVI, HDMI, or VGA cards and displays using adapters.

AI Suite 3 One-stop access to innovative ASUS features
ASUS AI Suite 3 offers a brand new user experience through a clearer and more attractive interface with support for larger monitors. It consolidates all exclusive ASUS features into one simple-to-use package, allowing you to supervise overclocking, energy consumption, fan speeds, voltages and more. This all-in-one app offers diverse and easy to use functionality, with no need to switch back and forth between different utilities.

DirectKey  Dedicated direct BIOS access button
Designed for those requiring frequent BIOS access, users can easily enter the BIOS when the PC is on standby power with a simple press of a button. It saves you time during boot-up as you don’t have to repeatedly press the DEL key. Convenience and ease at their best.

ASUS 5X Protection All-round protection provides the best quality, reliability, and durability
ASUS motherboards guard your PC with 5X Protection. We use quality components like DIGI+ VRM digital power design for precise CPU power on demand, ESD units tested to strict standards that eliminate electrostatic interference, and resettable fuses around DRAM slots to prevent overcurrent and short-circuit damage. We also use corrosion-resistant back I/O shields, all examples of ASUS providing the best possible reliability and durability.
