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

http://www.tweaktown.com ASUS Upcoming Product from Taipei. The exciting part of this preview was not so much the motherboard itself, but one of the key selling point features that it includes. You may or may not have heard about it, but ROG (Republic of Gamers) Connect is an interesting inclusion to the Extreme model that allows overclocking and BIOS adjustments on-the-fly from another system.

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

[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.

@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 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.

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?

@chino555

Overclockers do that all the time...

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

@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.

[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 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 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
