Overclocking via Bluetooth? If ASUS is to be believed then it is true. Reportedly the firm has invented a new technology through which it can overclock a motherboard via Bluetooth.The firm will be displaying this new technology at DreamHack Winter from November 26–29, 2009, meaning attendees will surely get to witness a milestone in overclocking history.
ASUS will be debuting the Republic of Gamers (ROG) Maximus III Extreme, a bleeding-edge, P55-based motherboard that enables users to tweak system settings wirelessly over Bluetooth via a mobile phone. An extension of ASUS' proprietary ROG Connect overclocking platform, RC Bluetooth will reshape how enthusiasts approach the art of overclocking.
The four-way CrossFire-capable Maximus III Extreme is a top-end addition to ROG's celebrated Maximus III Series of motherboards. The board boast of ROG Connect, an exclusive overclocking interface that enables users to monitor and tune their main systems through a notebook or netbook via USB, just like a race car engineer. The version released with Maximus III Extreme will extend ROG Connect's functionality, adding BIOS updating and recovery, diagram viewing, and on-the-fly hardware-level voltage and frequency adjustment.
But of course the most innovative addition to ROG Connect is RC Bluetooth, a feature which allows users to review the status of their systems' hardware and tweak parameters wirelessly from a Bluetooth-enabled PDA phone. RC Bluetooth is also capable of performing standard Bluetooth functions, such as stereo music playback, Skype messaging, Internet access via a Bluetooth phone, and mobile phone or PDA synchronization. All it requires is the press of a button located on the rear I/O panel to toggle between overclocking and standard modes.
Otherwise the motherboard supports 16GB DDR3 memory, 5x PCIe x16 slots, Intel P55 Express chipset, and NVIDIA SLI / ATI CrossFireX multi-GPU technology.
