Through one cable, they could connect two displays and three devices, such as a mouse, keyboard, or USB headset, giving them an overall setup that is neater and tidier.

Easy PC DIY made easier

It’s often thought that building a PC is a difficult process, but the truth is that it is far more straightforward than many think — and it’s getting even easier with our X870E and X870 motherboards.

The BIOS interface is undergoing significant upgrades, including an increased resolution of 1920 x 1080, allowing users to view more settings at once. A new BIOS Q-Dashboard interface will also be introduced, providing a visual representation of the motherboard model within the BIOS, with vital components and connections labeled. This enhancement aims to aid new PC builders in understanding their hardware and motherboard functionality more effectively.

We’re also making it easier to install and replace graphics cards and M.2 drives. The new PCIe Slot Q-Release Slim mechanism, available on ASUS X870E and X870 ROG, ROG Strix, and ProArt models, lets users remove a graphics card without releasing a latch or even pushing a button. Start by pressing on the motherboard with one hand to prevent it from moving while the user detaches the graphics card. Grip the graphics card on the left side (close to its I/O bracket). Then slightly tilt the card while pulling upward, and the graphics card will release from the PCIe slot.  

Most builders are also opting for M.2 2280 drives, but they may still have shorter 2242 or 2260 devices that they would like to install in their new PC. In response, ASUS is deploying the new M.2 Q-Slide in select motherboards. This ASUS-exclusive feature provides a mechanism that slides along a track and snaps into place to securely hold an M.2 device. ASUS has also refreshed the tried-and-true tool-free M.2 Q-Latch system for compatibility with various M.2 lengths.

ASUS is also making it just as easy to install an M.2 heatsink as it is to install the drive itself. Our ROG Crosshair, ROG Strix, and ProArt X870E motherboards feature the M.2 Q-Release heatsink for the primary drive slot. Simply press one button on the side of the mechanism, and the heatsink comes free. To put it back on after installing a drive, just snap the heatsink into place.

Keeping hardware drivers updated helps ensure the smooth operation of a new PC. But unless users are going out and checking for new drivers on a regular basis, it is easy to miss an update. To help this problem, ASUS is debuting ASUS DriverHub. This one-stop solution streamlines the process of managing ASUS drivers and utilities to ensure that a system stays up-to-date and optimized. By default, it supports ASUS motherboards, and users are invited to install ASUS DriverHub after OS installation.
