GIGABYTE has carefully waited until the official announcement from Intel's Core i7 Extreme Edition 990X to reveal the first details and early results of a particular motherboard that the Taiwanese manufacturer has developed for the extreme overclocking of their processors LGA- 1366. Let's talk about X58A-OC, a mainboard built within the guidelines of the well known overclocker Hicookie (the number one world ranking on Hwbot).
It 'important to emphasize that the relationship between Gigabyte and Hicookie was not a collaboration, "promotional" the Taiwanese overclockers was on the front lines to suggest the layout of the mainboard, the positioning of the components to be cooled, the test of the whole section power and the insertion of special features for overclocking.
This motherboard will be shown officially at CeBIT in Hannover in about two weeks, meanwhile Gigabyte load a youtube video showing Hicookie grappling with one of the most interesting feature found on X58A-OC. This is the system "OC Touch" that allows you to manually intervene and the multiplier on the processor BCLK completely independently from the OS.
With this feature Hicookie has managed to bring the CPU Core i7 EE 990X impressive frequency of 7.1GHz (obviously using as a liquid nitrogen cooling system, ed.) In the video Hicookie it boots at 6.4GHz (36x178) and goes up to 7.1GHz (36x197) with 1MHz steps at a time.
