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.
