Feature Testing: TweakIt One of the more impressive and innovative features of the Rampage Extreme is TweakIt. TweakIt puts full control and monitoring of the system in the users hands, without any software involved. With TweakIt we now have the opportunity to view hardware information such as voltages, temperatures, fan speeds, and system frequency at any time without any software. We also gain the ability to adjust voltages and even FSB on the fly, in or out of Windows with absolutely no software in site. The whole interface is controlled with two very intuitive buttons and a toggle switch with the LCD Poster acting as the monitor.  One button basically advances through menus while the other backs out of the levels of menus with the toggle switch acting as the selector between menus or adjusting voltages and the FSB frequency. As mentioned, the whole process is quite intuitive and within a couple minutes, we were right at home with TweakIt firing through the menus with efficient ease. Here is a table of exactly what is available through this fascinating new tool. | Main Section | Level 1 | Level 2 |  | 1 VOLT

The four main menus shown in the table above lead way to multiple sub-menus giving us control over which BIOS we want to boot to, adjust FSB, adjust voltages, and the most in-depth of all; monitor hardware voltages, temperatures, fan speeds, and FSB frequency. The full range of voltages and component temperatures are available to us as well as the complete voltage options we would find in the BIOS for all major components such as vCORE, vDIMM, vMCH, and more. Throughout our time with the Rampage Extreme, we found TweakIt to be extremely helpful and really began to rely on it. Whether it was checking temps on the north bridge during benchmarking or adjusting voltages on the fly to speed up the overclocking process, TweakIt was always reliable and turned out to be quite the useful tool. We have to admit that the original concept as described to us sounded like a bit of a gimmick but trust us, it really is all that it is cracked up to be.
