Asus embraces 2 oz copper PCBs after Gigabyte's lead.
The "new" 2 oz copper PCB feature translates into a thicker PCB, which allows for better cooling, especially when watercooling is employed, when compared to regular PCBs:
The motherboard also supports 8 + 1 phases for power supply, ensuring further that a lower temperature is achieved even during overclocking - it will also handle 140W CPUs just fine.
Advanced Clock Calibration (ACC) is supported, to enhance overclocking, courtesy of the SB710 southbridge. Northbridge duties are handled by the AMD 770 chipset, which is more than fine for most people and it also supports x16/x4 CrossFire - a rather unusual feature on AMD 770 baed motherboards.
There's alsa a GbE controller that sits on the PCIe bus and the board throws away the aging floppy connecter, while providing one IDE channel.
