Asus Does Super ML Caps for Overclocking

@ 2009/05/02
This morning, Asus said that two new graphics cards, the ENGTX285 (Nvidia GeForce GTZ285) and the EAH4890 (ATI Radeon HD 4890), will be equipped with Super ML Caps, making them the industry first to utilize these polymer-based capacitors. This means that users are able to crank up the ENGTX285 Series GPU 3.3 times the normal overclocking margins while remaining up to 15°C cooler than reference GTX285 GPU offerings. Additionally, the EAH4890--also featuring Asus' Voltage Tweak Technology and a special fansink--doesn't see the same performance boost as the Nvidia-based card, only offering 3 times the GPU overclocking margins and 10°C cooler GPU temperatures than other HD 4890 cards.
With the Super ML Cap present on the ENGTX285 Series, the overclocking limits of the GPU/shader/memory clock can be dramatically boosted from 670/1550/2700 MHz up to 720/1656/2920 MHz
