BIOS Flashback

BIOS1

BIOS2

Two sets of BIOS Flash ROM are present on the motherboard. You may choose

either BIOS as the one to boot, or back up or restore BIOS content from one

ROM to the other. When you are unhappy with the current BIOS, or if the current

BIOS fails, you can flash back to an earlier stored version. More than OC Profile

with saved parameters, BIOS Flashback allows you to save the entire BIOS in a

separated ROM. See pages 2-20 and 3-45 for details.

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 3-12 for details.

Loadline Calibration

Maintaining ample voltage support for the CPU is critical during overclocking.

The Loadline calibration ensures stable and optimal CPU voltage under heavy

loading. It helps overclockers enjoy the motherboard’s ultimate OC capabilities and

benchmark scores.

Voltiminder LED

In the persuit of extreme performance, overvoltage adjustment is critical but risky.

Acting as the “red zone” of a tachometer, the Voltiminder LED 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

and 2-2 for details.

iROG

The iROG is a special IC which enables several ROG highlighted functions

that give you full disposal of the motherboard at any stage! This design allows

advanced user control and management to be processed at a hardware level.

iROG greatly increases fun during overclocking for PC enthusiasts and it provides

system maintenance and management with more control and efficiency.

Component Overheat Protection -EX (COP EX)

The COP EX allows overclockers to increase chipset voltages without the worries

of overheating. It can also be used to monitor and save an overheating GPU.

The COP EX allows more freedom and less constraint for maximum performance

achievement.
