Within the wide variety of motherboards that have on the market there are a few that are bound to overclocking. Are few compared to the total, of course, but delight any advanced user to provide certain features that, although many do not usually use ever, call attention dramatically. In this line is the Gigabyte X58A-OC, which as you may have guessed from the name is an X58 Intel motherboard with socket 1366 and intended for overclocking.
Yes, that is, it can only use the Core i7-900 a generation ago and that, today, still no substitute in the Sandy Bridge presented in January. Perhaps we could say that the X58A-OC Gigabyte is outdated, and in some ways it is. However, it is also true that promises enough performance for a team that will last us many years.
The main feature of the new Gigabyte motherboard X58A-OC is that it includes a set of physical buttons to reset and change the BIOS without having the computer booted. This is a very similar system - or more - which Asus offers its most advanced motherboards, such as Maximus Extreme IV.
Other features included in the OC are X58A-Gigabyte dual BIOS and use of materials prepared to dissipate heat better. So far has not leaked or price or release date, but it is hoped that this model is the most expensive on the market. I would put the spotlight above 300 euros.
