New Software! How To Use ROG Exchange
What is ROG Exchange?
ROG Exchange is a database of OC Profiles right here on rog.asus.com that you can search through to try out yourself, or, submit and share your own into the community database. The ROG Exchange software (link below) allows you to upload/download from the database as well as update to/download from your ROG motherboard BIOS OC Profiles.
What is an OC Profile?
Within the ROG UEFI BIOS there is the OC Profile section, which you can use to save the BIOS settings. For example, if you've spent hours overclocking your PC with fine grained system tweaks to CPU, memory, voltages, LLC ~etc then you can save it all in an OC Profile. If you have to reset the CMOS for any reason, just go back to the saved OC Profile and the full set of settings can be reloaded in a single click!
Does ROG Exchange over-write my BIOS? Isn't that dangerous?
No and no! An OC Profile just saves the settings not the underlying BIOS code, so there's no risk of corrupting the BIOS.
How much is ROG Exchange?
ROG Exchange is a totally free software and database. The only condition is that you have to own a compatible ROG motherboard (see below) loaded with a specific BIOS, because it must accept the ROG Exchange software interacting with it.
Who is this for?
ROG Exchange is designed for anyone from technical amateurs (maybe you want a solid 4.5GHz OC) to OC professionals (get an LN2 starting block). Browse through the OC Profiles to see what others have submitted, download, try them and vote and comment on which are best.
What motherboards are compatible?
Currently the Maximus V series are supported (from the 1309 BIOS), with the Rampage IV series support coming shortly.
