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.
Conformal Coating
Conformal Coating is a special layer, which prevents
shortcuts when spilling water or other conductive liquids over the
motherboard. In this case overclockers won't have to worry anymore about
accidentally spilling liquid nitrogen over the board while overclocking.
