Best gaming performance
OC design
(base clock generator)
ASUS Pro Clock Technology
A dedicated base-clock generator designed for Ryzen® processors allows overclocked base-clock frequencies up to or beyond 150MHz*. This custom solution works in tandem with the ASUS TurboV Processing Unit (TPU) to enhance voltage and base-clock overclocking control — providing an exciting new way to boost performance to extreme heights.
DDR4 Overclocking Strength In Numbers
DDR4 OC 3200MHz+
With support for DDR4 memory you're able to drive memory frequencies to 3200MHz — or beyond! ASUS-exclusive T-Topology circuit design provides superb memory-overclocking potential, minimizing coupling noise and signal reflection to unleash the full power of DDR4. With innovative equidistant memory channels, the ROG design delivers the most balanced control and incredibly powerful overclocking capability. And that's not all: ROG works with almost every DDR4 memory vendor, ensuring the best compatibility.
