1.3.2ROG Intelligent Performance & Overclocking features

Crosslinx

Crosslinx is a unique technology utilizing a dedicated special graphics controller to optimize PCIe allocation with dual x8 lanes. Such architecture eliminates the x4 bottleneck found on competing x16, x4 solutions. Hence, the Crosslinx is able to provide faster graphics performance.

Fusion Block System

Building on the ROG unique heatpipe, the Fusion Block System (FBS) provides dual paths to cool down the motherboard. Users will be able to connect the FBS with the watercooling circuit.

Component Overheat Protection -EX (COP EX)

When the temperature of Northbridge and Southbridge reaches the limit of specifications, the motherboard will automatically shut down to protect NB and SB from burning.

2-Phase DDR2

With the embedded 2-Phase DDR2, this motherboard allows users to reach higher memory frequencies and enjoy better performance. Compared with only one phase solutions, this motherboard ensures longer power component lifespans and higher overclockability due to cooler temperatures and better efficiency.

Voltiminder LED

The voltage warning LED uses green, yellow, and red light on the motherboard to highlight the voltage status of each respecitve component (CPU, memory, NB, SB). See pages 2-1 and 2-2 for details.
