Asus works magic on its 2011 lga socket
Asus ensures that its motherboards with LGA 2011-3 socket are the best for overclocking, it has recently been discovered that in reality its socket should be called LGA 2017 since it has 6 extra pins that serve to deliver greater stability and voltage control over the processor.
Basically it could be said that Asus has designed a completely new socket and the explanation is as follows. Haswell uses FIVR (Fully Integrated Voltage Regulator) and Intel has been quite reserved when it comes to revealing how it works. Asus trying to give something more to its users has resorted to research to discover what are the voltage pins of the LGA 2011 socket processors to find a way to increase the overclocking potential of their motherboards. Thanks to its OC Socket with 6 extra pins for power supply, its boards are able to avoid Intel's FIVR and use these six extra pins to regulate the voltage, achieving higher OC levels than the competition and probably with lower voltage.
This system is already pending patent by Asus, so we will hardly see it on plates from other manufacturers.
