The motherboard's overclocking achievements are truly remarkable. Overclocker Elmor pushed an Intel Core Ultra 9 processor 285K to an extraordinary 7,488.8 MHz using liquid helium cooling, utilizing an innovative AI-designed LN2 pot created through a collaboration between 3D Systems, Diabatix, ElmorLabs, and SkatterBencher. BenchMarc achieved an equally impressive world record by pushing a memory kit to 12,066 MT/s.
The detailed benchmark records span multiple processor models and testing platforms. For the Intel Core Ultra 9 processor 285K, Elmor secured first-place records in CPU-Z Frequency, multiple 3DMARK CPU Profile tests, and various benchmarks including Cinebench and Geekbench. BenchMarc and other overclockers like OGS and CENS also achieved significant records across different processor models and benchmarking platforms.
If you're interested in the list of all the performers, here's something for you:
Back to the motherboard, at the heart of its design is a powerful 22+1+2+2 power solution tailored for Intel Arrow Lake processors, complemented by a unique two-DIMM slot configuration that optimizes copper trace pathways to the memory controller. The motherboard introduces advanced memory gear modes, with Gear 2 offering significant performance improvements, demonstrating an 18.8% reduction in latency compared to Gear 4 and potentially increasing game frame rates by up to 8.9%.
Innovative technologies like NitroPath DRAM and ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile III (AEMP III) further enhance the motherboard's capabilities. These features improve signal quality and optimize CUDIMM memory performance, supporting cutting-edge DDR5 memory speeds up to DDR5-10266. The motherboard is part of a broader lineup spanning ROG, TUF Gaming, ProArt, and Prime families, catering to enthusiasts and overclockers seeking maximum system performance.
