I’m back again with my second instalment for the AX:GS. That’s my opening line and now I have what can only be described as writers block. So I now have to go and find some inspiration.

I managed to get over my block and decided to talk a bit about the TurboV Remote. The main button I have used is the power button, it’s just more convenient to place the remote where you want it, to be able to turn the computer on and off. I had a small play with overclocking using the remote, but, as I’m not normally a big overclocker, I didn’t really spend too much time looking at it.

The remote as three buttons so that you can create preset overclock settings. For instance you could have one set as standard settings, and the other for over or under clocked settings.

The remote also has buttons for on the fly Bus Speed changes, it does them in 1Mhz intervals which is fine. The main downside is it covers the whole screen whilst you are doing it, and takes around 5 seconds to disappear once you have finished.

While the motherboard itself has a clear CMOS button located within the rear IO panel, the TurboV Remote also has a button located in a hole on the rear of the remote. This is handy as it means you no longer need to go into the case itself or reach around the back, as you can have it located wherever you please.

Finally the remote is designed so that it can lay at an angle or hook over the edge of something, like a monitor or case. In both positions a rubber pad will be in contact with the surface to reduce the chance of it sliding around.

Thank you for reading.
