1.3.2ASUS ROG 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.
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 page 2-36 for details.
ASUS LCD Poster 
The LCD Poster displays actual boot error messages instead of codes that other debug cards show. This unique feature allows you to easily find out which devices fail during the boot process, eliminating guesswork and allowing you to solve the
problem immediately. See page 2-23 for details
Onboard Switches 
A power-on button, a resetbutton, and a clear CMOS button are onboard to provide overclockers and gamers the convenience of fine-tuning performance when working on a bare (open-case) system. Press the power-on button to wake up the system, the reset button to reboot, and the clear CMOS button to clear setup information when the system hangs due to overclocking. See page 2-37 for details.
