Features essential for gamers such as great audio and networking have been focal points from the beginning. SupremeFX uses the Realtek ALC1150 codec with an electromagnetic-interference (EMI) cover and illuminated red-line shielding produces incredible sound with remarkable 115dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Sonic Radar II is the exclusive audio software designed to get the most out of the hardware. Intel I219-V Gigabit Ethernet with LANGuard and GameFirst technologies makes sure gaming is uninterrupted, fast and your investment is protected against static electricity and power surges.
In terms of aesthetics, it is pretty clear gamers and modders are going to be excited about the new Aura multi-color LED lighting effects on the black and red board. You can choose from a breathing effect, color-strobe or color-cycle effects, customize it to change shades according to the CPU temperature, or even pulsate in time with whatever you're listening to whether music, a movie or a game. Whether you are opting to go with liquid-cooling or air-cooling, the dedicated water-pump header and Fan Xpert 3 have you covered. Not a fan of lighting effects? Not a problem, ASUS B150 Pro Gaming will save you some money to go towards other components (Strix GTX 980 Ti perhaps?).
