One of the highlights at ASUS booth is certainly Blitz Extreme and BlitzFormula boards, part of their successful R.O.G line-up. The Blitz Extreme boardfeatures a Fusion Block System that allows a combination of watercooling withheatpipes to cool down the VRM, NB and SB. There is an interesting CrosslinxTechnology that allows x8/x8 equal PCIe lanes on P35 chipset to remove x16/x4bottlenecks for better graphics performance. We heard that it is prettychallenging to implement this technology as circuitry needs to be re-routed andadditional components have to be added to ensure signal integrity. ASUS has alsostep up to 2-phase power for memory which suppose to enhance memoryoverclockability. The boards come with free STALKER and 3DMark2006 AdvancedEdition too.
