1.3.2ASUS unique features
8-phase cap-less Power design
The 8-phase EL Capless Power Design demonstrates two hardcore commitments of ROG products: ultimate overclocking capability, and ultimate reliability. The 8- phase power design yields unparalleled superiority in the overclocking arena, while the cap-less design removes any worries of capacitor problems once and for all.
Fanless Design
The ASUS fanless design allows multi-directional heat flow from major thermal sources in the motherboard to lower overall system temperature, resulting in quieter operation and longer system life. ASUS has devoted special efforts to address the thermal issues across the motherboard, and most notably in the following areas: CPU, power, VGA, Northbridge and Southbridge. The heat pipe, heatsink, and strategic board layout were tailor made to dissipate heat in the most efficient manner.
AI NOS™ (Non-Delay Overclocking System)
ASUS Non-delay Overclocking System™ (NOS) is a technology that auto‑detects the CPU loading and dynamically overclocks the CPU speed only when needed. See page 4-18 for details.
Extreme Tweaker 
This feature allows you to fine tune the CPU/memory voltage and gradually increase the memory Front Side Bus (FSB) and PCI Express frequency at 1MHz increment to achieve maximum system performance.
ASUS Q-Connector 
The ASUS Q-Connector allows you to connect or disconnect chassis front panel cables in one easy step. This unique adapter eliminates the trouble of plugging in one cable at a time, making connection quick and error-free. See pages 2-36 for details.
