Software and Accessories
As with the motherboard and BIOS, we’ve omitted the photos of the 790i Ultra SLI mystery motherboard accessory kit to honor its manufacturer’s request. But we’ll still show the list just in case the product is released. (We can always update this article with photos later if the board is re-announced.)
Even though the mystery board is targeted at extreme enthusiasts who typically prefer BIOS overclocking, it still includes a Windows overclocking utility. The first page shows key clock speeds, voltage and temperature levels, and fan speeds.
Alarm settings can be changed for each of the previously noted readings.
The third page allows you to change the CPU core and VTT, DRAM, Chipset, and PLL voltage, plus CPU FSB and PCI Express clocks. We didn’t have much luck with the software, but it’s likely still in the beta stage.
