    Forget the USB power drop-outs! ROG's TrueVolt USB design delivers a rock-steady 5 V supply to both the front and back USB sockets - no drop-outs!
  • Award-winning UEFI BIOS - acclaimed by world media as the most-intuitive UEFI BIOS

    The smoothest mouse-controlled graphical UEFI BIOS has been upgraded to deliver faster setup and easier functions, with an even more appealing design for better overclocking and DIY experiences. Whether you're a PC novice or a seasoned overclocker, the EZ and advanced modes help you find your way, quickly and easily.
  • RAMDisk - dynamically unleash your RAM - 20x faster than SSD

    With RAMDisk you can turn system memory into superfast temporary storage. Put large files, such as game maps, into RAMDisk and watch loading times fly - you'll never again wait to play. You'll even enjoy the bonus of protecting your SSD drives, as RAMDisk reduces excessive reads and writes that can reduce lifespan! Last but not least, the junction function serves as quick links between files and RAM storage. All files are automatically saved and restored to their specific locations on hard drives when you turn your PC off, then go back to RAM when you power on again.
