1.3.2ROG Intelligent Performance & Overclocking features

Pin-Fin Thermal Module

Compared with traditional stacked-fin heatpipe solution, the new generation pin-fin thermal design results in better thermal performance, which enlarges the “heat- exchange” surface area and breaks the “boundary-layer” phenomenon for effective airflow. The Pin-Fin Thermal Module is the most efficient thermal system ever on the motherboard.

CPU Level Up

Ever wish that you could have a more expansive CPU? Upgrade your CPU at no additional cost with ROG’s CPU Level Up! Simply choose a processor you want to OC to, and the motherboard will do the rest for you. See the new CPU speed and enjoy the performance instantly! Overclocking is never as easy as this. See pages 4-19 and 5-33 for details.

ASUS EPU

The ASUS EPU utilizes innovative technology to digitally monitor and tune the CPU power supply with improved VR responses in heavy or light loadings. It automatically provides power for higher performance or improve efficiency by 7% when the PC is running low intensity applications. Working together with AI Gear 3, this can help you attain the best possible power efficiency and energy savings up to 20% to help save the environment. ���See ����page 5����-29 for��� details��������.

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.

Extreme Tweaker

Extreme Tweaker is the one stop shop to fine-tune your system to optimal performance. No matter if you are looking for frequency adjustment, over-voltage options, or memory timing settings, they are all here! See page 4-18 for details.

Voltiminder LED

In the persuit of extreme performance, overvoltage adjustment is critical but risky. Acting as the “red zone” of a tachometer, the Voltiminder LE�D displays the voltage status for CPU, NB, SB, and Memory in a intuitive color-coded fashion. The Voltiminder LED allows quick voltage monitoring for overclockers. See pages 2-1

to 2-3 for details.
