ASUS RoG Maximus III Extreme LGA 1156 Motherboard Preview

RoG Connect / Tweaking via Bluetooth

At its most basic, the ASUS RoG Connect allows you to debug and tweak your system on a laptop. With it, all of the POST codes as well as the BIOS options can be seen and adjusted via a graphical user interface which is easy to use. Since this is all done on a host computer through a hardware-level controller on the MIIIE, there are no resources used on your primary system.


ASUS has now taken this concept of off-system tweaking and monitoring to the next level with their RoG Connect Bluetooth adaptor. With it, you can now take a Windows Mobile-enabled smartphone, download a simple application and use it in the place of a laptop to connect to the MIIIE’s BIOS and monitoring options. There will also be applications available for BlackBerry, iPhone and other smartphones in the coming months.


The module which allows for this expanded capability is included with the Maximus III Extreme isn’t pre-installed on the board. It consists of a status LED and a sync button which you push to begin communication between the board and your mobile device.
