the most part it's all here. A
noteworthy difference is in how the
new MeMOK II switch, differs from the
previous MemOK button. Flicking the
switch adjusts your settings mainly the
system agent and cachline/VCCIO
voltage as to help the system POST at
the user entered settings This switch
could be toggling some other settings
as well, but I can’t confirm that. What I
can tell you however is that in a
situation where 4,000MHz DRAM
frequency may fail to POST,
adjustments will be made which may
include lowering the memory divider.
The system may than boot normally,
but the memory frequency may have
been reduced to 3,900 for example.
From here you can diagnose the issue
and try different settings once again.
This feature in my experience may not
always haver the desired effect and I
choose to just leave it off, but there are
most certainly situations where it may
save you plenty of time, by simply
setting the right parameters for you,
literally at the flick of a switch.
As with the latest ROG boards, the
Gene sports the same ProbeIT point
scheme via the use of through holes.
It's a small adjustment but it does
make hooking up a multi meter a lot
simpler. In a way, it is like many of the
switches and buttons then, as it simply
offers convenience allowing you to
focus on the business of overclocking.
On the topic of ProbeIt, there have
been improvements to the reliability of
voltage readings on the board. Elmor
goes into plenty of detail in this thread
