Maximus Hero VI AI Suite III 4-Way Optimization and Adaptive Power/Clockspeed Issues

[GT#Nilsson]

Just bought a Hero, 4670K, and Corsair 2400Mhz CL11 and Corsair H90 watercooling.
Im no pro so I planned to see what the AI suite could do for me with the adaptive tuning.

Imagine my dissapointment to only get 4.2, 4.4 and 4.6 options and the suite just skipping through the much promoted TPU tuning process. I have looked everywhere and nowhere in the official promotion material i find it mentioned that you only get these options with the Hero.

Initially i was thouroughly impressed with this board but now i feel like i didnt get what i expecting.
Please ASUS update the AI suite so we can get access the the full options. AT least in a beta version.

My only comfort is the my CPU seems to be top shelf. 4.6 at 1.200 V. No credit to Asus for that though.

There will be no update for this as the boards do not have the hardware to do the full auto-tuning process. The ROG boards are primarily for folks that like to OC themselves, without over-relying on automated features.

Well then its even worse that you promote the auto tuning feature so heavily without mentioning these limitations in the ROG series.

I have no doubt in the manual capabilities of the board. They are excellent no doubt. My capabilities on the other hand are doubtfull so i bought the promotion without hesitation. I used to tune manually but with two kids I simply dont have the time to dig into this. This was a way for me to achieve 90% of the way with minimal effort.

I would simply set the multiplier ratio to 43X and then tune the Vcore to suit your CPU and cooling - it won't take long.

SO Wait let me get this straight THe hero board don't have the Optimization that is in the videos? Is that Correct? IF so I will Prob just refuse my Shipment that is coming in the mail if that is the case. Or I will Complain to Newegg and get some of my Cash back for them stating that it is actually on there. When in fact its not. Somone please confirm is this software on there like in the videos I have seen online on youtube for this boaord http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131989

There is the tuning software available for the Hero board yes, AISuiteIII works well for all the ROG boards. It is simply that not all the motherboards in the entire ASUS range have the hardware specifically needed for the full auto-tuning.

I can personally confirm that on my Hero board, I downloaded and installed from the Hero support page the AISuite3 and clicked the 4way optimisation button. My system did the entire process, with reboot and report at the end. Only thing I do not have on my system is many fans as the motherboard was put on my test bench.

that's nonsense. it's just like simply setting the multi to 42x, 44x or 46x. they should call it Dual Dumb Processors on the ROG boards.

basically, you pay more and get less. perfect! just the way to treat their highend users.

if there aren't necessary hardware onboard for that to work, come up with something that can use what's available instead of coming up with useless excuses.

it simply doesn't do the intelligent tuning. the fan controller is there and i think it is identical.

you can only select one from the three preset overclocking profiles or do it manually.
