Red-line shielding
Horizontally separates SupremeFX audio components from the rest of the motherboard, effectively eliminating interference to ensure flawless sound quality
300Ω-headphone amplifier
H81-Gamer drives some of the very best headphones available — up to 300Ω load impedance. H81-Gamer assures you great compatibility and more impactful output than standard onboard audio hardware. You demand superb effects and superior surround sound for truly immersive gaming experiences, and H81-Gamer delivers!
EMI cover
A carefully-engineered protective shield isolates the advanced audio chipset from electromagnetic interference (EMI), preserving the integrity of the audio signals.
Premium ELNA® audio capacitors
Added to the mix to deliver a warmer, natural sound to complete the audio experience.
Networking that just goes faster!
The difference between defeat and victory can be measured in milliseconds. That's why we've equipped H81-Gamer with networking technology that puts your frags first!
Intel® Gigabit Ethernet
Intel® Gigabit Ethernet provides better Throughput with lower processing power for superior speed and we've added our own advances to ensure the best possible performance for gamers – in every game and on every battlefield.
Gamer's Guardian for real-world protection!
While you protect your back in the game, H81-Gamer protects all sides in the real world. Great motherboard design is all in the detail, which is why ASUS engineers kitted out H81-Gamer with loads of brilliant protective features. Individually they're tough, together they're unstoppable.
10k black metallic capacitors
Exceptionally high-quality Japanese-made (Nichicon GT series) solid-state capacitors offer 20%-greater temperature endurance and lifespans that are up to five times (5X) longer that generic equivalents.
DIGI+ VRM
H81-Gamer DIGI+ VRM voltage-regulator module (VRM) is one of the finest in the industry, ensuring ultra-smooth and ultra-clean power delivery to the CPU at all times!
DRAM overcurrent protection
H81-Gamer's connection ports and DRAM are protected against overcurrent and short-circuit damage by onboard resettable fuses, extending your motherboard's life.
Stainless steel back I/O
Crafted from chromium-plated, corrosion-resistant stainless steel, H81-Gamer's input/output (I/O) panel is super-strong — and last up to three times (3X) longer than ordinary panels!
