PC constructing is getting lots much less fiddly due to ASUS

ASUS continues to make PCs simpler to construct with their newest Q-series motherboard improvements
Over the previous few years, ASUS has been working to make PC constructing simpler due to the addition of their Q-series of “Quick & Straightforward” motherboard improvements. These additions are designed to make PC constructing simpler, to not make PCs sooner, and have reworked many PC constructing duties from a chore to being totally simplistic. A number of of ASUS’ Q-series design adjustments have already been adopted by ASUS’ opponents, and it’s straightforward to see why. The simpler it’s the construct a PC, the higher.
Earlier than discussing ASUS’ newest Q-series innovation, we are going to describe two latest adjustments which were a godsend to OC3D as a {hardware} evaluation and evaluation web site. ASUS’ Q-Launch and Q-Latch options.
Q-Launch provides a button to ASUS motherboards that permits customers to rapidly detach PCIe units from their motherboards with out having to press a PCIe 16x slot’s latch. This latch is commonly very onerous to press, both on account of close by heatsinks, thick GPU backplates and different obstructions. Merely put, it’s usually onerous to detach graphics playing cards from PCIe slots with out utilizing a software to open these latches, and ASUS’ Q-Launch function makes doing this a easy button press.
With Q-Launch, ASUS made the set up of M.2 SSDs extremely easy due to tier use of a screw-free latching system. This eradicated the necessity for these tiny M.2 SSD screws which might be far too straightforward to drop and lose observe of. This innovation has since been adopted by virtually all motherboard producers, making PC constructing a a lot easier course of.
So what has ASUS focused subsequent with their Q-series of straightforward and quick PC constructing add-ons. With Q-Antenna ASUS are concentrating on WIFI antennas, particularly the fiddly rotating fasteners that they usually use. With Q-Antenna, ASUS are making the WIFI antennas of latest motherboards easy snap on attatchments, turning a fiddly fastening course of right into a easy push match.
Whereas ASUS’ Q-series {hardware} adjustments usually are not going to extend your framerates of lower your system’s render occasions, they do make the method of constructing and upgrading your PC sooner and simpler. Let’s face it, the sooner you’ll be able to construct or improve your PC, the sooner you’ll be able to take pleasure in your new {hardware} and run it by means of its paces. Whereas ASUS’ Q-series motherboard add-ons usually are not game-changing, they’re serving to to make PC constructing a better course of for everybody, and that could be a good factor for all of us.
You’ll be able to be a part of the dialogue on ASUS’ new Q-Antenna know-how on the OC3D Boards.
