Previously ASUS didn’t include Dual Intelligent Processors II to MAXIMUs boards but we are really glad they listened to the end users and included it. With one click of a button you can OC your CPU (Be careful if you chose extreme tuning, we won’t spill the beans here as to why but read the OCing section well. In one spot with a simple click Dual Intelligent Processor II will OC your CPU, set a good viable fan profile for you based on your systems characteristics and heat generated from the CPU. It will also balance power so your system still gets a screaming OC but goes into a low power “C” state when you don’t.

Lighting_Control

We’ve touched on lighting control and it changes the way the Asus Logo is colored on the PCH heatsink, You can also configure it to music or how hot the CPU is. We do have to say it’s a little un-nerving when it’s synced to the CPU and you go past the orange spectrum. From 20 – 40 is green, 40 – 60 is yellow, 60 until she screams for mercy is orange to red.
