Overclocking Options

Besides the unique cooling system that comes with this motherboard, it has a lot of overclocking options on its setup. With this board you can configure the CPU external clock rate up to 600 MHz and several other adjustments. Instead of listing all available settings, just look them on the pictures above.

According to Foxconn the final product will have three more options not available on the prototype we saw, including the possibility to monitor the temperature and the current being drawn by each MOSFET transistor (a.k.a. “phase”) from the voltage regulator circuit.

Another interesting thing about the setup that will be available on this option is that the help screen will really tell you what each option does, instead of just telling you the options that are available – nothing is more frustrating that finding an option on setup that you don’t have a clue about its use, hit F1 for help and get “Enable/Disable” as an answer.
