Intel Gigabit Ethernet
More throughput, less CPU usage and great gaming experiences

This significantly reduces the processor's workload, so there's more power for your game and your gameplay.
LANGuard
Pumped-up throughput. Best surge protection
ASUS LANGuard is hardware-level networking protection that employs signal-coupling technology and premium anti-EMI surface-mounted capacitors for rock-solid gaming connections and better throughout for online play, plus electrostatically-guarded and surge-protected components for greater tolerance to static electricity and improved protection against surges.
GameFirst
