 X58A-OC
Overclocking Motherboard
OC-VRM
Includes a combination of POScaps, MPFC Chokes, and DriverMOS. OC-VRM can be overclocked
to deliver higher current to the CPU

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

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

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

Designed by Overclockers, for Overclockers
