DIY
Easy PC DIY

PCIe Slot Q-Release
A physical lever unlocks the first PCIe slot’s security latch with one tap, greatly simplifying the process of detaching a PCIe card from the motherboard when it’s time to upgrade to a new GPU or other compatible device.

Q-Antenna
With Q-Antenna, attaching a WiFi antenna to your PC is now easy and fast. Instead of slowly rotating two fasteners until they finally lock in, they just snap into place. Less hassle, and more consistent performance.

M.2 Q-Latch
The innovative ASUS Q-Latch makes it easy to install or remove an M.2 SSD without the need for specific tools or screws. This design employs a simple locking mechanism to secure the drive and neatly detach it with one tap.

Q-LED
The on-board Q-LED troubleshooting lights give PC builders a quick indicator to confirm that key components ― CPU, RAM, graphics card, storage devices ― are functioning normally during startup. It can also alert them when memory modules have not been properly installed--even before booting.

Clear CMOS & BIOS FlashBack™
The Clear CMOS button quickly resets Bl0S settings to factory default. lt can also be used to reboot the PC if incorrect Bl0S settings have been selected.
Bl0S FlashBack™ is a safe and simple way to update Bl0S. Just drop the (UEFI)BlOS file onto a FAT32-formatted USB stick, plug it into the USB BlOS FlashBack port, and press the button. Updates can even be performed without having memory or a CPU installed.

Pre-mounted I/O shield
Our pre-installed I/O shield safeguards ports, simplifies the build process, increases functionality and enhances aesthetics for PC DIY enthusiasts.
