Singapore (19th April, 2017) — ASUS
Republic of Gamers today announced the Strix B250G Gaming (microATX) and Strix
B250H Gaming (ATX) motherboards, value-packed boards that combine the bold
aesthetics of the classic ROG red and black color theme and katana-inspired
markings with premier performance and incredible audio to deliver unrivaled
gaming experiences and style.
ROG Strix
B250 series motherboards are based on the Intel® B250 chipset and
support the latest 7th Generation Intel Core™ processors and technologies. With
exceptional audio performance from SupremeFX technology and the S1220A codec, ultra-fast
connectivity with dual onboard M.2 slots and Intel Optane™ memory support, exclusive
ROG innovations for stable, efficient operation, and the comprehensive system
protections of Gamer’s Guardian, ROG Strix B250G Gaming and ROG Strix B250H Gaming
take performance to the next level to give gamers the edge against opponents.
Exceptional
audio: SupremeFX S1220A codec, plus Sonic Studio III and Sonic Radar III
ROG Strix B250G
Gaming and ROG Strix B250H Gaming feature the exclusive SupremeFX S1220A codec
that delivers an exceptional 113dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) on the line-in
connection for the best ever recording performance, and a 120dB SNR on the line-out
to ensure crystal-clear sound. ROG engineers have also added Texas Instruments®
RC 4580 and OPA1688 op-amps for incredibly high-gain, low-distortion sound that
envelops the listener.
ROG Strix
B250H Gaming also comes with Sonic Studio III for total audio control and Sonic
Radar III, which features a new heads-up display with a three-dimensional
in-game arrow that pinpoints enemy positions instantly.
Ultimate connectivity: Intel
LAN, GameFirst IV, dual M.2, and Intel Optane
ROG Strix
B250G Gaming and ROG Strix B250H Gaming have the very latest Intel Gigabit
Ethernet (I219-V) integrated to reduce CPU overhead and deliver
exceptionally-high TCP and UDP throughput, freeing up more computing power for
gaming and gameplay. They both have ASUS-exclusive LANGuard to provide
protection against electrostatic discharges and surges, and ROG Strix B250H
Gaming also features GameFirst IV to prioritize gaming-related network traffic
for faster, lag-free online gaming experiences.
Both ROG
Strix B250G Gaming and ROG Strix B250H Gaming feature dual M.2 slots, giving
users maximum flexibility when choosing an SSD for their system. Support for
Intel Optane memory — a revolutionary new non-volatile memory that enables
SSD-like performance from a hard disk drive (HDD) — lets gamers enjoy
dramatically accelerated data transfer speeds for faster launching of their
favorite games.
Superior
gaming performance: Fan Xpert 3, EPU and Digi+ Power Control, plus RAMCache II
ROG Strix
B250G Gaming and ROG Strix B250H Gaming are packed with exclusive technologies
that provide gamers with the best system performance, energy efficiency and
stability. Fan Xpert 3 provides advanced yet intuitive fan controls that enable
gamers to achieve an optimal gaming environment, while the EPU and Digi+ Power
Control provide enhanced system stability and utmost energy efficiency. On ROG
Strix B250H Gaming, intelligent RAMCache II technology effectively caches an
entire storage device to reduce the risk of data loss and ensure faster game
loading.
Comprehensive
protection: Gamer’s Guardian and easy DIY features including SafeSlot
ROG Strix
B250G Gaming and ROG Strix B250H Gaming have a suite of protective features
called Gamer’s Guardian, which includes SafeSlot. SafeSlot is the PCIe®
slot reinvented by ASUS and engineered to provide superior retention and
shearing resistance. Manufactured in a single step, a new insert-molding
process integrates the slot with fortifying metal for an inherently stronger
slot, which is then firmly anchored to the motherboard through additional
solder points.
Gamer’s
Guardian also includes Digi+ voltage-regulator modules (VRM) for improved power
delivery to the CPU, DRAM Overcurrent Protection for extended motherboard life,
and Smart DIY features, including Q-Slot for easy graphics card installation,
Q-DIMM memory slots for simple and secure memory module handling, and Q-Shield to
prevent against nicks and cuts during system building.
