I know my cpu sucks compare to i7-990X i've seen in XS, but WTH.. i just showing what X58A-OC capable of. Overall X58A-OC is the best motherboard i've using in OC, layout, components, and OC features makes doing extreme overclocking more easy than before. Combining ET6 to set voltage and OC Button to raise both CPU Ratio and BCLK makes easy to find max speed for benching or just to find max cpu clock. I think GIGABYTE and especially Hicookie really done a great job in X58A-OC. X58 chipset is quite late...YES i agree but GIGABYTE shown different taste of X58 platform with X58A-OC. Hoping will see another OC board from GIGABYTE in the future.
Thanks GIGABYTE for providing the board
