ROG OVERCLOCKING TECHNOLOGIES
Tried and tested OC features offer extensive control over system performance for seasoned veterans and new recruits alike. Leverage onboard intelligence to automatically adapt CPU performance, or get a headstart on manual tuning and then utilize advanced tools and utilities to stay on the pulse and push boundaries.
- AI OVERCLOCKING
Tuning is now faster and smarter than ever before. ASUS AI Overclocking profiles the CPU and cooling to predict the optimal configuration and push the system to its limits. Predicted values can be engaged automatically or used as a launching ground for further experimentation.
- OVERCLOCKER’S TOOLKIT
The ROG Overclocker’s Toolkit is a powerful set of hardware-level controls to enhance your overclocking experience. Some are quick and easy time savers, while others offer masterful functionality to help you smash benchmarks and break records.
- SAFE BOOT BUTTON Instantly reset the PC and boot directly into Safe mode.
- BCLK BUTTONS Adjust the BCLK frequency to improve system performance.
- PROBEIT Includes twelve integrated measurement points for advanced tuning.
- RETRY BUTTON Instantly initiates a hard reset with just a press.
- SLOW MODE SWITCH Reduces the CPU ratio to 8X to keep the system stable during setup for extreme overclocking.
- PAUSE SWITCH Pause the system and fine-tune OC parameters mid-benchmark.
- RSVD SWITCH Helps the system boot under extreme temperatures (≤ -120°C)
- LN2 MODE Jumper to enable special options and functions for liquid-nitrogen (LN2) overclocking.
- BIOS SWITCH Switches between BIOS 1 and 2.
