Asus says Strike II with Striker II Formula motherboard
January 23, 2008
Based on the NVIDIA nForce 780i SLI MCP, the new ASUS ROG motherboard supports 3-way SLI technology out-of-box
ASUS just released the Striker II Formula motherboard. This cutting-edge motherboard is the latest in ASUS´ Republic of Gamers line and takes full advantage of the NVIDIA™ nForce 780i SLI™ MCP (Media Communications Processor). To deliver the most immersive PC gaming experience, the new Striker II Formula motherboard provides support for 3-way SLI technology, resulting in amazingly fast game-play.
Republic of Gamers (ROG)
The Republic of Gamers is for the best of the best. Sporting the best hardware engineering, the fastest performance, and the most innovative ideas, we welcome the best gamers to join. Extending the ROG tradition, the new Striker II Formula features superb overclocking capability and a rich feature set that includes the SupremeFX II audio card.
A Future-Proof Gaming Platform
The Striker II Formula supports the latest Intel® Core™2 processors, including the next generation 45nm multi-core processors with Front Side Bus (FSB) up to 1600MHz.
Today´s games demand the most powerful graphics solutions available. Able to run up to three graphics cards in 3-way SLI, the Striker II Formula is the perfect motherboard for hardcore gaming enthusiasts who demand the most from their rigs. NVIDIA’s 3-Way SLI technology takes advantage of the increased bandwidth of the PCI Express 2.0 bus and features intelligent hardware and software solutions allowing up to three graphics cards to work together seamlessly. This results in performance that´s both scalable while offering more than twice the performance of a single GPU system.
Overclocking Taken to the Next Level
To allow maximum overclocking without system crashes, the ASUS exclusive Extreme Tweaker technology lets users adjust the north bridge (NB), south bridge (SB), and DRAM voltages in 0.02v increments. By adjusting the voltages in smaller increments, users can safely achieve the highest voltage the system supports, resulting in the best overclocking performance possible.
COP EX (Component Overheat Protection - EX)
Overclock with confidence. The COP EX allows overclockers to increase chipset voltages without having to worry about overheating. It can also be used to monitor and in extreme cases, save an overheating graphics card. The ASUS COP EX gives enthusiasts more freedom to overclock with fewer constraints.
Voltiminder LED
When overclocking, over-voltage adjustments are crucial, but they can be risky. Similar to a tachometer´s “red zone”, the Voltiminder LED displays the voltage status for the CPU, NB, SB, and memory in an intuitive color-coded fashion.
ASUS C.P.R. (CPU Parameter Recall)
In the unfortunate instance that the system crashes due to an overclocking failure, the days of having to open the computer case to clear CMOS data are in the past. Just restart the system, the BIOS will show the previous setting and users can simply adjust the CPU settings again to restart the PC.
Extreme Tweaker
Extreme Tweakers is the one stop shop to fine-tune your system for optimal performance. Frequency adjustments, over-voltage options, and memory timing settings can all be adjusted in one easy place.
ASUS EPU (Energy Processing Unit)
The ASUS EPU utilizes innovative technology to digitally monitor and tune the CPU power supply with improved VR responses in heavy or light loadings. It automatically provides power for higher performance and can improve efficiency by 7% when the PC is running low intensity applications. Working together with AI Gear 3, this can help you attain the best possible power efficiency, resulting in energy savings of close to 60%.
World Exclusive Hottest DX10 Game Bundle: Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts
Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts is the next installment in this highly-rated strategy franchise, delivering an unprecedented level of realism all the while revealing a darker, more brutal war. Boasting enhanced lighting effects, mission persistence, improved vehicle and soldier AI, as well as enhanced physics and a dynamic weather system, this game will set new standards in visual realism for the RTS genre as a whole.

Asus presents new 3D Navigator, best seen yet!
January 18, 2008
Navigate Via Easily Recognized 3D Landmarks
ASUS R700/R700t Provides Convenient and Realistic Navigation with 3D Maps
Catering to users who require a top-notch PND for their GPS navigation needs, ASUS, producer of high quality handhelds, has released the ASUS R700/R700t PND. This handy gadget is not only convenient for inputting routes via a user-friendly interface; the realistic 3D Maps provide a 3D panoramic view that makes it simple for users to navigate complicated and multi-level junctions. The R700/R700t also features a vast array of applications that include Bluetooth Handsfree functions to provide a smoother, safer drive; and the TMC (Traffic Message Channel) module for instant traffic updates (TMC feature is support by R700t only).
Navigate Conveniently with 3D Realistic Maps
2D maps can be slightly more difficult to understand when looking at complex intersections, so the new 3D map function is a welcome change for drivers. With a panoramic view of the navigation route, full 3D representations realistically display the surroundings with geographical illustrations and detailed road information – allowing users to easily and conveniently view their GPS positions in real-time. The 3D maps will turn, move and stop as the driver does the same, and will provide pan and zoom options to view nearby streets.
Bluetooth Features for a Smoother Drive
With Bluetooth 2.0 handsfree calling support, the R700/R700t provides users with fast transfer speeds, better voice quality and safer operations. Building Bluetooth connections automatically via auto-ping, it also provides echo cancellation for clear audio for conversations, shows the caller name when calls are incoming and can automatically answer incoming calls after 5 seconds. It can even speak out SMS content to allow drivers to concentrate more on their driving without the need to handle the device.
Safety First with Auto Light Sensor
The R700/R700t also contains a built-in auto light sensor that automatically optimizes the backlighting of the LCD panel. This safety feature not just saves power, it allows users to view navigational directions whether it is night or day; or even when driving in a tunnel. With this feature, users will get optimal lighting to view directions without straining their eyes or drawing too much attention from driving.
Stylish and Slim Outlook
The R700/R700t’s concise design emphasizes simplicity without unnecessary buttons, and is only 13.5mm thick and 200g – making it lightweight for easy portability. With a subtle and sleek outlook, this PND will fit perfectly into any luxury car setting.
Quick Access with Large 4.3″ Wide Display
Additionally, a convenient and intuitive interface provides you with a user-friendly interface that consists of a touchscreen control with icon-driven operations with a large virtual button for simple navigational directions that includes vibrant colors and pictures. The super large 4.3 inch wide LCD screen further enhances ease in operability by allowing users to see more roads, lanes and points of interests (POI) on the screen – allowing them to get on their way faster.
Versatile Entertainment Center
The R700/R700t is a portable communications and multimedia center that can let you enjoy listening to MP3s, watch videos, and browse pictures – making it your best companion anywhere. The built-in FM Transmitter allows the R700 to broadcast phone conversations, navigational directions; and voice out SMS in the vehicle speakers - allowing users to enjoy the best quality acoustics for their listening pleasure. It also saves the navigational software into the 1G internal memory to avoid the user deleting it by mistake, and supports Micro SD memory cards expandable to a large 4G for even more multimedia enjoyment.
Avoid Traffic Jams with TMC Module* (R700t Only)
The built-in TMC (Traffic Message Channel) provides real-time information on traffic conditions and allows users to be notified of accidents, road diversions, traffic jams, traffic light breakdowns, parking lot vacancies and so on. When the route passes into a traffic obstruction, the R700t is able to automatically calculate and lay a new navigation route to bypass the traffic jam via an alternate route. Additionally, it can provide weather forecasts for major cities – allowing users to plan well for a happier drive.
*Note
- The R700 does not support this function.
- The TMC traffic update depends on the TMC service in your region
