Key Features

  • Fast Charging Power: Supports up to 60W USB Power Delivery (PD 3.0 + PPS).

  • Multiple Voltage Profiles:

    • 5V / 9V / 15V / 20V (up to 3A)

  • USB Wattage Watcher: Monitor real-time power draw from connected devices.

Important Note

  • To unlock the full 60W charging, you must connect the 8-pin PCIe power cable to the motherboard’s additional power input.

USB Wattage Watcher

The USB Wattage Watcher is a proprietary utility provided for supported motherboards, allowing you to monitor the real-time charging wattage delivered to devices connected to high-power USB-C ports (like the 20Gbps header you mentioned). To install it, you must navigate to the ASUS official support website for your specific motherboard model. Look under the Driver & Utility section.
