The Pro Gaming motherboards are designed for today’s modern value-conscious consumers, who demand affordability and the best technology. It is based respectively on the new Intel H170 Express and B150 Express chipsets. The H170 Pro Gaming and B150 Pro Gaming D3 also benefit from Gamer’s Guardian components for durability and easy DIY, and the latest connectivity with both 10Gbit/s SuperSpeed USB 3.1 and M.2 on board. Both have durable capacitors engineered to resist extreme temperature variations of between -55°C and 105°C-110%. There is a corrosion-resistant stainless-steel input/output (I/O) panel that lasts three times longer than ordinary panels. The smart DIY features include the one-clip Q-Slot graphics card installation and Q-DIMM memory slots with one-sided clips for super-simple, super-secure handling of memory modules. Q-Shield prevents nicks and cuts during building, while four Q-LED lamps indicate problems with the CPU, memory, graphics card or boot device for quick diagnosis. ASUS ESD Guards actively protect against sudden electrostatic discharge (ESD), ensuring USB ports, audio and LAN port protection that’s up to twice as resilient as industry standards. The boards are equipped with both Gen 2 Type-A and reversible Type-C sockets. The M.2 socket also provides great storage-upgrade flexibility, with support for all M.2 devices between 42mm (2242) and full-length 110mm (22110). Both boards also come with uniquely-intelligent RAMCache technology. This will help to cache an entire storage device so that favorite games and apps launch at breakneck speeds. The RAMCache minimizes risk of data loss and turns milliseconds into microseconds. The company has priced the ASUS H170 Pro Gaming at Rs 11,455 and B150 Pro Gaming D3 at Rs 9,600. Both comes with a 3-year warranty.
