Tweak Asus's Maximus Motherboard through your Phone

@ 2009/12/01

ASUS will be debuting the Republic of Gamers (ROG) Maximus III Extreme, a bleeding-edge, P55-based motherboard that enables users to tweak system settings wirelessly over Bluetooth via a mobile phone.

That's right...tweaking the overclocking settings of your motherboard using a cell phone. For users that aren't already familiar with the ROG Connect feature on the P55-based Maximus III Formula, it allows users to connect their systems to a notebook (or another PC if handy) via an included USB cable in order to change BIOS settings, monitor temperatures and more from the remote machine. Even when the system was powered off, the application running on the secondary computer could change the BIOS settings and options before the next reboot. That is indeed a very cool feature!

Now, all we need is a jealous girlfriend who thinks you're phoning another girl all the time and in a fit of lunacy kills the motherboard...

Aha, finally someone who can engineer us a good excuse for our broken hardware.

Step 1: hack phone
Step 2: oc pc
Step 3: "My setup's dead - what happened?"
