ASUS Striker Extreme 1-5
1.3.2 ASUS 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 ow 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
efcient 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 ne 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. See pages 4-19, 4-20 for
details.
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 2-40 for
