Here, let me Google that for you....now, was that so hard?

you didnt quote the result of a google search here cause it doesnt actually answer my question... so please...

Memory compatibility issues are often the bane of system upgraders, and ASUS is the only motherboard manufacturer in the world that has devised an ingenious tool solely to tackle memory-related problems. Called MemOK!, ASUS' exclusive motherboard feature takes the guesswork and anxiety out of memory upgrading, restoring user confidence and peace of mind. In the event of a boot failure after installing new RAM, all the user has to do is press an easily accessible button on the motherboard and MemOK! will automatically load the failsafe settings needed to ensure a successful system boot. MemOK! is able to rapidly detect and resolve memory issues—even if bad or unstable memory is used!

what does that mean? how does it work? they say itll work even if the memory is bad/unstable... that doesnt make any sense... if a stick is dead its dead, theres no magic button thatll make it boot again... or are they using onboard memory chips to boot from and completely ignore the memory slots to begin with?

all i can find when googline is PR stuff that doesnt say what it is and what it does, just how great it is...

Gigabyte did daughterboard PWM...7? years ago... but with fewer phases. Maybe those boards were practice runs for your idea

actually they had 12 phase pwms back then iirc!
it totally flopped... i never understood why this fad came back to life...

Why doesn't a Premium board can use a digital PWM? Hilarious 32 analog phase design, if it's suposed to be a premium hardware motherboard, use digital PWM and do not start a crazy marketing race against Gigabyte...

im really curious how much adding all those phases actually hurts reliability... think about it, the more parts you add, the higher the chance of one of them blowing up one day for some quality variation... to sell this as a premium board not even aimed at overclockers is really bizarre... its a complete waste

I've used MemOK on a CrosshairIII. It did the job but couldn't get Reaper DDR3 running at 1600MHz! Basically it runs a memory test algorithm at a variety of settings to give you stable memory. Its good for getting mismatched RAM working together but doesn't do XMP speeds.

thanks!
hmmmm so its basically trying diferent speeds and timings and ignoring the spd... that means its a fool proof way of getting the mem configured... sounds not bad for normal end users who dont want to mess with mem timings and speeds and xmp profile incompatibilities etc...

This just in! Jensen Huan nvidia CEO predicts 570 phase pwms by 2012!
