Bundled Software
 |
Asus includes the AI software suite with the motherboard which includes multiple small widgets mainly related to monitoring your system and making small tweaks outside of the UEFI.

Of the bundled software, the two I found the most interesting were the Digi+ Power Control and TurboV EVO. Digi+ allows you to adjust CPU power settings without restarting and going through the UEFI. TurboV Evo is even more interesting in that it lets you adjust your base clock, core ratio, and all of the critical voltages on the fly.
Overclocking Performance
 |
 |
Of course with a high-end motherboard such as this one and the best desktop processor on the market, overclocking is bound to happen. So we pushed our chip as far as we felt comfortable and came out with some amazing results.
By just increasing the voltage and multiplier we were able to push our 4960X from the stock 3.6 GHz (with turbo pushing it a little higher) to a whopping 4.8 GHz stable at only 1.4 volts which is really impressive for this 6 core behemoth.
Finding and adjusting the necessary settings was simple with the straight-forward layout of the UEFI and we were able to push it up to its max with no headaches.
