[Gopu Pa]

I have a computer at home. My computer is working absolutely fine. I have an intel E4400 cpu which contains windows 7 operating system. Actually I want to upgrade my motherboard. I haven’t made any hardware change since the day I bought it. I like to play games and hence I need to have a powerful motherboard. I have heard that GIGABYTE X58A-OC motherboard is the first and the latest overclocking motherboard launched in the world. Is this information true? I would like to know more about this motherboard. Any advice and suggestions regarding this motherboard would be highly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

GIGABYTE TECHNOLOGY Co. is the manufacturer who has launched this GIGABYTE X58A-OC motherboard. It is designed for extreme over lockers. This motherboard was actually launched on 1st march this year. This motherboard includes some unique overclocking technologies like PWM frequency switcher, it includes full range of onboard hardware OC buttons and onboard SATA power connectors for stable multiple graphics configurations. You can quickly and easily get the best performance by using this motherboard. There is a 4G Ready button onboard that allows novice overclockers to automatically reach 4GHz. It is easy to monitor the component voltages. There is OC-Cool heat pipe which maximizes system convection to expel hot air out through the IO panel and optimizes the passive cooling. OC-Cool LED lighting is on the North and South Bridges adds coolness to X58A-OC motherboards. For more information regarding this I think you should search on the internet.

This motherboard makes use of 8 SATA ports which may seem excessive for an overclockers motherboard. Well let me tell you that there are six SATA 3GB/s ports connected to the ICH10R Southbridge supporting RAID 0/1/5/10 configurations. This GIGABYTE motherboard has retained PS/2 connectivity for mouse and keyboards.
