Hey guys,

So right now I'm using this motherboard Access Denied which has Asus Anti-Surge Protection. My question is how does this work? and is it supposed to help whenever there's loadshedding etc? I read on some Indian website that it is supposed to help with the ongoing power fluctuations and load shedding. If anyone can shed some light on this

Thanks,[h=5][/h]

Power surge is sudden positive fluctuation in voltage. If motherboards has that feature it will prevent the damage just in case. Power surges are really rare and PSU mostly have surge protection in them also. If PSU fail to absorb power surge its less likely that a mobo will. BTW its an automatic type of thing u dont need to do anything.
Its only for surges nothing else. Load-shedding has nothing to do with it.

Think of Power Surge as a flood in a river and the surge protector as a flood gate that instantly diverts excess water to prevent damage.
As beret21 said, PSUs have surge protection already. This is a added protection in case some voltage spikes do get through to the motherboard.

In the event of load shedding, I doubt there is a surge in voltage, there is just a disconnection of Power. However, Power surges do occur during Lightning Storms. It is suggested that you don't use expensive electronics plugged in the socket during Lightning Storms, in fact it is recommended to unplug them.

Also remember to unplug expensive electronic devices if you plan to go on a holiday.

    You reap what you sow. This is what happens when you take away choice from consumers. Even with 88% split going to developers, they can't recoup costs. Meanwhile, Helldivers 2 is a massive hit for Sony thanks in big part to Steam.
