Since this is a flagship motherboard it also comes with some overclocking friendly features like on-board base-clock switches, auto-OC buttons, PCIe slot power gating, UEFI BIOS, and manually selectable dual-BIOS. The new iGame Z97 Ymir-X motherboard also features 7.1-channel "Voice Game" HD audio with audio-grade capacitors, headphones amp and ground-layer isolation as well as Killer E2200 gigabit Ethernet.
