AI NOS™
Boost performance when you need it the most!
Applications such as 3D games and video editing demand a huge chunk of system resource.
Inject "nitrous oxide" into your CPU! The patented AI NOS™ (Non-delay Overclocking System) technology intelligently detects system load and automatically boosts performance for the most demanding tasks. Unlike other dynamic overclocking techniques, AI NOS™ reacts much faster to satisfy your unending need for speeds.

another sad marketing gimmick thats playing on a popular term in the hope of increased sales.. and it probably wont be used by any 'real' overclockers

Look so colorful:

Got one on my old 486. That button sure slowed down my PC 5-10x when pressed....
