| 12 + 4 Phase Power Design |
Since quite some time ASRock has been equipping its boards with
digital power designs. With the OC Formula they are very proud about
their quite complex solution which consists of Dual-Stack MOSFET's
(DSM), three different filter caps (DIP solid caps, POSCAP's and
MLCC's), as well as high quality alloy chokes. |

| Gelid Solutions GC-Extreme Thermal Compound |
Since this product mainly aims at
extreme overclockers, NickShih tought about something quite special. He
decided to bundle the board with Gelid's GC-Extreme thermal compound,
since this is the best thermal grease you can get for extreme
overclocking. |

| NickShih's OC Profile |
Unexperienced
overclockers might be familiar with the circumstance, that it can take
ages until you've found rock solid and stable settings you make you CPU
run at a much higher frequency. At this point NickShih prepared five
different profiles where the perfect settings are going to be loaded
instantly and you don't need to carry anymore. Therefore it's piece of
cake to clock your CPU to very high frequencies. |

| Rapid OC |
What you get with this feature are two buttons, which have been placed on the motherboard directly. Their purpose is to make overclocking even easier. In fact you can change the multiplyer, BCLK as well as VCore by simply pressing the plus or minus button |

| Formula Drive |
Standard these days
is a nice and decent software for widows, using which, one can adjust
different settings related to the board from within the operating
system. In case of the OC Formula you can control the fans attached to
the board, overclock your CPU, use OC DNA, IES or XFast RAM or you can
also monitor temperatures on your board by reading ou the differen
thermal sensors. |
