USB BIOS FlashBack USB BIOS Flashback offers a hassle-free updating solution for your ultimate convenience. Simply install a USB storage device containing the BIOS file, press the BIOS Flashback button for three seconds, and the UEFI BIOS is automatically updated even without entering the existing the BIOS or operating system. It also allows you to regularly check for UEFI BIOS updates, and download the latest BIOS automatically. GPU.DIMM Post GPU.DIMM Post enables you to catch potential problems even before you enter the OS, saving you valuable time in detecting component failure under extreme conditions. With GPU. DIMM Post, quickly and easily check your graphic cards, memory modules' statuses in the BIOS, and overclocking settings. BIOS Print ROG offers a whole new UEFI BIOS feature to handle the demands of an overclocking experience. The motherboard features ROG BIOS Print that allows you to easily share your BIOS settings to others with the press of a button. ProbeIt This motherboard consists of seven Probelt measurement points that helps you detect your system's current voltage. With the use of a multimeter device, these points can help measure your system's CPU, PLL, VCCSA, PCH, IO, DIMM, and iGPU voltages. Extreme Tweaker Extreme Tweaker is the one stop shop to fine-tune your system to optimal performance. With Extreme Tweaker, you can adjust the system settings such as frequency, over-voltage, memory timing, and more. Loadline Calibration 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. BIOS Flashback BIOS Flashback gives you the ability to save two versions of BIOS simultaneously: one saved BIOS for the tweaked overclocking setting, and one saved BIOS from the previous version. VGA Hotwire Using the VGA Hotwire feature, you can plug two-wired cable onboard and solder two wires on the VGA's voltage regulator to adjust the voltages accurately without risk.

BIOS updates, and download the latest BIOS automatically.

GPU.DIMM Post

GPU.DIMM Post enables you to catch potential problems even before you enter the OS,

saving you valuable time in detecting component failure under extreme conditions. With GPU.

DIMM Post, quickly and easily check your graphic cards, memory modules’ statuses in the

BIOS, and overclocking settings.

BIOS Print

ROG offers a whole new UEFI BIOS feature to handle the demands of an overclocking

experience. The motherboard features ROG BIOS Print that allows you to easily share your

BIOS settings to others with the press of a button.

ProbeIt

This motherboard consists of seven Probelt measurement points that helps you detect your

system’s current voltage. With the use of a multimeter device, these points can help measure

your system’s CPU, PLL, VCCSA, PCH, IO, DIMM, and iGPU voltages.

Extreme Tweaker

Extreme Tweaker is the one stop shop to ﬁne-tune your system to optimal performance.

With Extreme Tweaker, you can adjust the system settings such as frequency, over-voltage,
