One-Click Overclock and CoolingOne click takes care of all that complex tuning. ASUS 5-Way Optimization makes your PC smart. It dynamically optimizes essential aspects of the system, providing overclocking and cooling profiles that are tailored for your rig. | CrossChill EK IICrossChill EK II lets you cool with air or water, no fan required! Redesigned cooling fins deliver up to 35˚C-lower Mosfet temperatures on water, and the standard G1/4" threaded fittings mean CrossChill EK II easily fits existing setups. | M.2 HeatsinkThe ROG Maximus X Formula is equipped with an M.2 heatsink integrated into the PCH heatsink. With a huge cooling surface, the heatsink perfectly chills an inserted M.2 SSD — for maximum performance and reliability. |
