ASUS AI Suite II

Well, I reluctantly installed it as almost every utility suite like this I have ever used was total naff.

But..this suite from Asus for my P67 board is actually pretty damn good. Has everything I wanted while messing with my overclocks particularly history recording with full graphs and point based value inspection. EXCELLENT for keeping an eye on my VCORE over time.

The Fan Expert section is a joy to use, very intuitive not only for setting thresholds but seeing how RPMs ramp up interactively. Screw fan controllers, this is much nicer and more transparent in day to day usage.

The Probe section is also pretty damn good, shockingly simple to setup and alerts based on your choices. If I could change anything about this it would be being able to change the popup window location or link sound files to alerts.

Overall I am pretty impressed, it works well and looks pretty.

I agree 100% m8.
Was contemplating swapping to an Msi board when I send my B2 back for a refund, but this software was one of the reasons I've ordered another Asus.

I've got it installed and it's bloody terrible.

The only motherboard tweaking utility I've ever used that was any good was Intel Desktop Control Center, but alas I've not got a decent Intel branded board anymore.

Its not a bad app, much better than it used to be. The fan expert section is very good, use it for customising my cpu fan profiles.

I think the P6X58D only came with AI Suite I whereas the new rendition is wayyy better.

Yeah AI Suite 1 was never very good, infact I used it a couple of times...uninstalled and never bothered installing it again.
AI suite 2 is awesome imo it just needs the ability to alter memory speeds/timings from windows now and it would be perfect

I've installed AI Suite II, which seems to run fine, and was what I was basing my post on.

AI Suite I didn't even run.

Ah right, I didn't know you could get it on the P6X58D.
