Asus Blitz Extreme - Manual (Page 18)

1-2 Chapter 1: Product Introduction
1.3 Special features
1.3.1 ROG intelligent Performace & 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.
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).
2-Phase DDR3
The 2-phase DDR3 supplies stable power to memory in turns. Each phase only
shoulders half of the loading compared with the only one phase power module.
8 phase DrMOS power
The DrMOS, the next generation of CPU power module, provides higher efficiency
for energy saving and higher quality power supply to the processor. With thtis
latest technology, this motherboard allows users to reach the highest overclock
frequency and to have the most stable platform.
Super Memspeed Technology
To attain top performance, ASUS has managed to break through current FSB
and DRAM ratio proportions by utilizing Super Memspeed Technology- the latest
technology that provides even more precise overclocking options to unleash
the true potential of DDR3 memory. Native DDR3 1333 maximizes system
performance by eliminating the bottleneck when overclocking both the CPU and
the memory- providing great performance for 3D graphics and other memory
demanding applications.
