    ROG Exclusive Features TweakIT
    Hardcore OV with finger tweaking fun!
    TweakIt is designed for control freaks. Following the success of the Extreme Tweaker overclocking feature, ASUS has engineered TweakIt to give users flexible overclocking control even when running benchmark programs! The joystick-like control puts every overclocking option in the user´s fingertips, allowing the users performance optimizations options during game play to gain the competitive edge. TweakIt brings a brand new dimension to the game of overclocking and benchmarking.

    ProbeIt
    Get all hands-on with hardware-based overclocking
    ProbeIt takes the guesswork out of locating the motherboard’s measurement points, identifying them clearly in the form of eight sets of detection points so you’ll know exactly where to get quick yet accurate readings using a multitester.

    Extreme Engine with ML Cap Design
    Say hello to max headroom
    Overclocking is all about headroom and for this motherboard has the Extreme Engine—a next-generation dynamic multi-phase power management system equipped with high performance Multilayer type Polymer Capacitors (ML Caps). Extreme Engine ensures a stable power supply during overvoltage by lowering Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR), keeping critical components such as the processor, system memory and the Northbridge reliable. This means you’ll be able to push your spanking new Intel Core i7 CPU to the limit, hitting benchmark scores that others only dream of.

    iROG
    Intelligent multiple control at hand
    The iROG is a special IC which enables several ROG highlitghted functions that gives users full disposal of the motherboard at any stage! This design allows advanced user control and management to be processed purely at a hardware level. iROG greatly increases fun during overclocking for PC enthusiasts and it offers system maintainence and management with more control and efficiency.

    BIOS FlashBack
    Two BIOS ROM. Two BIOS settings. Twice the overclocking flexibility.
    Overclocker´s prayer to have BIOS flexibility is answered! With the new BIOS Flashback, PC enthusiasts can overclock with even more confidence. BIOS Flashback gives overclockers the ability to save two versions of the BIOS simultaneously. Very much like the "SaveGame" function, one BIOS can be used for the overclocking adventure, while the other BIOS is to be stored with any previous version. BIOS Flashback brings the ultimate convenience to overclockers!

    CPU Level Up
    A Simple click for instant upgrade
    Ever wish that you could have a more expansive CPU? Upgrade your CPU at no additional cost with ROG´s CPU Level Up! Simply pick the processor you wanted to OC to, and the motherboard will do the rest!
    See the new CPU speed and enjoy that performance instantly. Overclocking is never as easy as this.

    Extreme Tweaker
    One stop performance tuning shop
    Extreme Tweakers is the one stop shop to fine-tune your system to optimal performance. No matter if you´re looking for frequency adjustment, over-voltage options, or memory timing settings, they´re all here!


    Voltiminder LED
    Friendly reminder on the intentional madness
    In the pursuit 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.

    COP EX
    Maximum OC with confidence with burn proof protection to chipsets and GPU!
    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.

    Loadline Calibration
    Optimal power boost for extreme CPU overclocking!
    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.
