X58A-OCOverclocking Motherboard

X58A-OCOverclocking MotherboardOC-VRMIncludes a combination of POScaps, MPFC Chokes, and DriverMOS. OC-VRM can be overclocked to deliver higher current to the CPU

OC-TouchAllows users to manually raise and lower the CPU ratio, change BCLK and even change BCLK steppings by 1MHz or 0.3MHz

OC-PEGProvides two onboard SATA power connectors to give more stable PCIe power

OC-CoolFeatures a new LED lit thermal design and a total of 7 4-pin Smart Fan connectors to allow overclockers to easily control their system-wide temperature

OC-Dual BIOSFeatures an onboard BIOS switcher and LED indicator, allowing users to easily select different BIOSes for normal use or overclocking

Designed by Overclockers, for Overclockers
