ASUS Upcoming Product - ROG Connect allows on-the-fly OC

[Memington]

Wait, what is the point of having it connect to another computer? Can't you just install that software on the computer you want to overclock?

[kght222]

@Memington of course you can do that, the point is you can do it without having to do it on the computer while it is running a game or benchmark (don't know about you but if i wanna change my clock i have to minimize to do it even with dual monitor. although i suppose shortcuts and a second monitor would let you do the same thing, but that would be stealing resources from the game/benchmark) although there surely isn't a large market for this.

@kght222 I guess.

I'm really into cool stuff you can do with computers (example: setting up my movies folder as a network drive), but I think this is just a little TOO silly.

Cool, but utterly unnecessary.

[kght222]

@Memington agreed. and i think i get what you mean now. you could probably install software to do it remotely instead of using the feature. the point of the feature is that you have external direct bios access i think. but yah it is kinda pointless for most users, even power users. i think the best use for this is in mega overclocking. and that like 1 out of a million power users. that same board is available cheaper without that feature. keep in mind though it works with all operating systems.

@Memington #secondreply# when i say all operating systems i mean that the motherboard can be running any os and still be clocked by remote.

[uuuaaaaaa]

u gotta love quadfired hd4770

[bizzy400]

@uuuaaaaaa why??? hd4770 isnt shit in todays game maybe im just not happy if i cant max out a game atleast 1080p and get steady 45FPS im always bothered with 45FPS minimum becuase of intels study 

[uuuaaaaaa]

@bizzy400 i have a hd 4770 too, i dont mind about the graphics, i only want 125fps, on my 120hz monitor ;), you can always use msi afterburner and get 1000mhz on core and 1000mhz on memory :D

[bizzy400]

@uuuaaaaaa hahahaha 125 FPS on a 4770 on what diablo 2 with on 480i CRT lol unless the games like 6 years old your not gonna get above 20FPS at max max setting unless you resolution is 5x3 lol

[uuuaaaaaa]

@bizzy400 :x i have a samsung 2233RZ (120Hz Lcd), i play 10year old games like the quake series. hd 4770 can pull 30fps no AA or AF on crysis maxed out with extreme config, this card has 1000mhz rated memory (same memory as asus Hd4870 matrix) I can easly reach 1000+mhz stable on the core. i dont care about games like diablo2 or Sc2. i only play fast paced FPS.

i like the cpu heatsink , what brand is it?

[chino555]

hahaha over clocking wile benchmarking in the same time lol crazy

[cjgan80]

@chino555

Overclockers do that all the time...

mostly some of them broke the world record.. :P

[miyabhai7]

onboard sound doesnt look good but gives an extra slot for a better sound card

[miyabhai7]

but the maximus iii formula has better looks........who cares!!!

[miyabhai7]

now thats what i am talking about!

too bad there isnt an extreme edition intel processor for this board.
