ROG Striker II Formula 1-5
1.3.2 ROG 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 �PU 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. 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
�xtreme 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 �oltiminder ���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.
