Much like the themed CPU-Z versions we have seen from EVGA and Gigabyte, ASUS also have a version which we saw with the X79 ROG range. After staring at the standard Windows 7 desktop for over 60+ motherboard reviews these past couple of years, any change seems like a good change! The following icons are also placed on the desktop: Unfortunately it has the ability to taint the experience somewhat, especially on the side of the person trying to fix the problem.Īfter installation of the drivers and software, several utilities automatically run as window loads, along with applying an ROG desktop theme with backgrounds, icons and mouse pointers. I could have had a bad disk, but anyone could get a bad disk.
In order to solve this, I had to go online and download AI Suite in its entirety and install the latest version therein the rest of the disk installed without a hitch after this. It would cause errors that would influence the system in undefined ways, such as missing half of AI Suite, or not allowing me to install various GPU drivers. I did come across a minor issue with my Install CD, which is not entirely representative of all end user experiences – part of the software suite failed to install based on a bad disk. The system will install the options with a sufficient number of reboots, although after the final reboot the system will not load up the DVD again – users will have to reload the DVD to access the software half after the driver half and vice versa. Each of the halves offers a two click Install-All, although users can select which options not to install before proceeding with the automatic installation. The first anyone sees of the package is from the Install DVD, which splits the package into two halves between drivers and software. The ROG motherboards, like the MVF, usually get the best versions of the software first, along with a themed skin to complete the experience.
This typically falls under the heading of AI Suite II, an all-in-one toolbar for the separate optional menus that can vary between the product line or to accommodate new functionality. In the past couple of years, I have often touted ASUS software as one of the better solutions on the market, covering most of the bases in terms of what software should be doing as part of the motherboard package.
