Features
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 targets extreme overclockers, NickShih - product manager of this board - tought about something quite special. He decided to bundle the board with Gelid's GC-Extreme thermal compound, since this is the best thermal compount 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 to make your CPU run at a much higher frequencies. At this point NickShih prepared five different profiles where the perfect settings are going to be loaded instantly. In other words he did the job for you already. 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. |
