World’s First OC Motherboard - Gigabyte X58A-OC

Makes sense then, but I don't think you can say this board is for "none overclockers", it's more a board to help newbies overclock, with a button for insta-4GHz

I feel like that is a terrible idea. Personally, I would not use it nor trust it.

You guys are making quick judgements..... and missing the point. Perhaps this would help clear the misconception.... GIGABYTE's X58A-OC motherboard gets full introduction on video :: TweakTown USA Edition. Definitely check out the video.

And yeah, Gigabyte is only recommending 280 bucks for the board. In fact the board is stripped down for price consideration.

And again, this board is strictly dedicated to high-end overclockers. Can anyone use it.... yeah. Can anyone just hit a switch and hit 4gig.... probably. But bear this in mind...... I could own an i7-990x system..... and only surf the net with it

My two cents.
