ASUS ROG 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 flow 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

efficient manner.

Extreme Tweaker

This feature allows you to fine 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.

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 2-36 for

details.

ASUS LCD Poster

The LCD Poster displays actual boot error messages instead of codes that other

debug cards show. This unique feature allows you to easily find out which devices

fail during the boot process, eliminating guesswork and allowing you to solve the

problem immediately. See page 2-23 for details

Onboard Switches

A power-on button, a resetbutton, and a clear CMOS button are onboard to provide

overclockers and gamers the convenience of fine-tuning performance when

working on a bare (open-case) system. Press the power-on button to wake up

the system, the reset button to reboot, and the clear CMOS button to clear setup

information when the system hangs due to overclocking. See page 2-37 for details.
