Defintely the ramdisk option. It would cause a need to max out my ram just to try it.
 
Ramdisk. The uefi bios on my old M5E, was pretty much flawless as is.
 
The secure erase is really what I look forward to. I have a couple of older SSD's that I see a noticeable slow down in after a few months of use.
 
The ability of Auto Tune to achieve a stable overclock that is 90% of what you can achieve manually (after lots of tweaking).
 
the new xmp setup, dont do a ton of overclocking and the old method was too far down for a lot of users
 
The My Favorites and Quick Note are awesome. Sometimes I forget all of the tweaks I made and then get myself in trouble. Also, I've UEFI from other mobo makers but this one seems the most intuitive I've seen. It makes the "BIOS" much less intimidating.
 
My favorite new option is how all the info you want to see (voltages, temps, fan speeds, etc.) are all on the main page when you get into the UEFI. No more clicking into different sections just to make sure your system is humming along. Also love the new XMP setting for memory on the main page.
 
I love the ease of use with respect to overclocking, I also love just the whole interface, much better then the old Blue and White text and keyboard only of old boards... I need an upgrade from my Lynnfield as well.
 
It is simple buy ASUS ROG boards and you know you got all the latest features in an attractive quality product. What more could you ask for.
 
delete me please. after really studying the board I made a new entry - didn't realize I could edit this one.

The RAM disk feature is definitely my favorite. I could see myself using that on an everyday basis.
 
ASUS continues to tweak for us gamers and overclockers!
The new profile settings are a nice easy way to OC without fuss, I especially like the gamer profile, where it will dynamically OC the core based on threads. Cool stuff!
 
The quick note is awesome. When I build a new system I will do an initial tuning, and maybe later return to see if I can improve performance further. Quick note gives me an easy way to record and store in the bios (which won't get misplaced), nuances and or results from my last overclocking session. This could prevent someone like myself from repeating a mistake.
 
The fact it is so robust and simple and decent looking. Looks like a great update but can't say for sure until I am able to test it out!
 
its really hard to pick just one thing, the asus uefi is so much better than the old bios. I like being ableto use my mouse. I like flashing my uefi from my uefi I really love the ease of overclocking. I could go on...
 
I love all of the new features Asus is bringing to the table. The new designs are just beautiful! I would love to try out some of the newer components. The UEFI looks greatly done and Secure Erase look awesome. I would like to see what the Sonic Radar is about. Ram Disk looks pretty sweet and would love to tinker around with the new audio chipset trying to find my Perfect Voice.
Thanks for the great reviews [H] and sweet hardware Asus!
 
Quick notes for me. I have a notebook on my desk for all the changes I have made that is getting rather sloppy.
 
Ramdisk and the ability to save configurations to favorites and leave myself notes about the UEFI setup is amazing. Secure erase would be an amazing feature to have as well.
 
The best improvements are usually the simplest ones. These get utilized by many and not just advance users. With so many drives being used today, being able to rename SATA ports prevents accidental erasures. I know I've been guilty of that in the past :) Great practical and common sense improvement to the UEFI.
 
As simple as it seems, the Quick Note and Last Modified log looks pretty sweet. I can't even tell you how many times I've lost my notes in a jumble of papers and lost track of what I was doing. Very nice.
