Asus has released the ROG Striker II Extreme series of motherboards. Supporting NVIDIA’s nForce 790i Ultra SLI chipset for exceptional overclocking speeds, this powerful series of motherboards is also equipped with innovative technologies for enhanced graphical and thermal performance, versatile overclocking options; as well as a vast array of features that include device protection.
The Fusion Block System utilizes a Pin-Fin heatsink design that combines the ROG's renowned heatpipe design with the additional ability to connect to a water cooling system. By taking the entire integrated solution into design considerations, the user can enjoy 50% cooler thermal performance to the north bridge, south bridge, and even VRM with a single connection – providing them with a versatile, efficient, and advanced thermal system for better overclocking results.
The ROG Striker II Extreme series is currently available and retails at a whopping RM2,069. Read on for more info and specs.
Instant CPU Boosts with CPU Level Up
Catering to avid overclocking enthusiasts and gamers alike, the
ROG Striker II Extreme Series comes with two unique features for flexible CPU upgrading
without extra costs. The CPU Level Up* feature makes it simple for users to
upgrade CPU performances without prior overclocking knowledge. All that is
required is for the user to pick the processor speed they want, and the
motherboard will do the rest. Instant performance upgrades have never been
easier! Overclocking enthusiasts can also make use of the CPU Level Up result
to adjust settings for even higher frequencies. The other feature, Extreme Tweaker,
is a one stop shop to fine-tune systems for optimal performance. With a vast
array of options to tweak frequencies, over-voltage or memory timing settings, this
handy application will allow overclocking gurus to fully fine-tune their system
to their desired settings for maximum overclocking and performance outputs.
Exceptional Graphical Performance
with 3-WAY SLI
The ROG believes in unsurpassed graphical performance to let
users achieve the best gaming potentials. The ROG Striker
II Extreme allows gamers to attain this high level of performance with support
for 3-way SLI technology in PCIe2.0 mode - allowing users to setup 3 high-end VGA
cards running with full x16 lanes. When users utilize the 3-WAY SLI setting, higher 3DMark world
records and smoother gameplay with higher frame rates and better antialiasing will
result for a better gaming experience.
Protect
Your Devices with Voltiminder LED and COP EX
In order to pursue the highest level of performance, overvoltage
adjustment is crucial. However, this practice is risky and can lead to damage
to expensive PC components. Acting as the "red zone" of a tachometer,
the ROG exclusive Voltiminder LED displays the voltage status for the CPU, NB,
SB, and Memory in an intuitive color-coded fashion. This allows quick voltage
monitoring that is essential while overclocking. The COP EX feature allows users
to overclock with confidence and increase chipset voltages without the worries
of overheating. Used to monitor the chipsets, it can actually save an overheating
GPU. With the Voltiminder LED and the COP EX as protection mechanisms, more overclocking
freedom and maximum performance can be achieved.
