ASUS Dr. Power: Intelligent power supply monitoring
Power supply health detection helps prevent sudden system shutdown and provides hassle-
free notifications should power delivery be insufficient. Additionally, LED messages on the
board clearly indicate any relevant power issues in the event your system fails to boot.
Built-in dual server-class Intel ® i210 Ethernet
For more reliable networking, the Z87-WS features the latest server class built-in Intel ®
Ethernet adapter. This leads to lower CPU utilization and temperature, outstanding
performance, as well as better support for diverse operating systems.
Beat Thermal Chokes: Better stability and lower power loss
ASUS Beat Thermal Chokes deliver great durability and up to 93% power efficiency under
normal operation. A special fin design results in 3-5 0 C lower choke temps for added stability,
which is increased exponentially through use of highly conductive and efficient gold-treated
coating. This translates to minimal loss of power delivery.
Extra mSATA 6Gb/s
A built-in mSATA 6Gb/s card provides users diverse storage options. Install your SSD to a
mSATA 6Gb/s port for super-fast boot up and reduced resume times.
Diagnostic LED
Diag. LED checks key components (CPU, memory, graphics card, and hard drive) in
sequence during bootup. If an error is found, the LED next to the relevant device will stay lit
until the problem is solved. This user-friendly design provides an intuitive way to locate the
root problem.
Quick Gate
Quick Gate is a vertical USB connector on the motherboard, allowing you to install USB
devices directly with no messy cables. This stops important data storage devices from
breaking off unexpectedly. P8P67 WS Revolution with this unique design provides a
convenient and safe way to install data and applications on your PC.
