ASUS TurboV

ASUS TurboV addresses a small group of users because it only works with some ASUS motherboards and it also draws in overclocking enthusiasts.

Yes, ASUS TurboV is a utility you want to use if you ever want to overclock your system. In fact, ASUS TurboV is the first application in a developing series, the father of ASUS TurboV Evo and the grandfather of ASUS TurboV Core.

As overclocking is far from child's play and farther from beginners that are at the lesson where they steal search for various tutorials on a daily basis, ASUS TurboV requires a certain level of know-how from your part as well as guts. This doesn’t mean that advanced users are bound to take it into account.

The segment of computer freaks that think everything can be overclocked and should be overclocked is quite thin. In fact, the number of available software for overclocking is, for sure, not dependable on the number of overclockers. Makes you wonder, sometimes, if there are so many just to make you want to try them although you are not ready to, resulting in damaging your system and avoiding the warranty at the same time.

That cannot be the case if you know what you are doing, and what ASUS TurboV allows you to do is controlling frequencies and voltages while monitoring the temperatures and voltages. Moreover, ASUS TurboV also provides a set of automatic overclocking profiles as well as the possibility to quickly switch to one of them by pushing the power button on your case through another application called Turbo Key.

ASUS TurboV proves to be an alternative to the old-school BIOS overclocking. The main difference between these two is the fact that ASUS TurboV does not require a reboot every time you want to test the system after you have made some tweaks here and there, but serious overclockers do not take any software such as ASUS TurboV as serious challengers.
