Features & Specifications Military Class Components Now lets take a look at what makes the Xpower a buying decision worth considering for your extreme needs. This is actually the highest price board to date but I have not seen the Maximus Extreme model from ASUS which is worth noting that the formula model is only 10 dollars cheaper so the Extreme will likely surpass the Xpower but time will tell. The board comes in at a price of $379.99 on Newegg or. Ok now that part is out of the way lets dig into what is the MSI Z97 Xpower AC and see just what makes it tick. *Disclaimer: World records are not included with purchase and actual tuning ability and work will be required alongside good parts to acquire such lofty goals* That being said the board we have in front of us today is designed to ensure you can squeeze every ounce of performance out of your CPU and should you get a awesome gem of a CPU it has all of the necessary parts in place to ensure that you can freeze it and tear through the perceived limits toward world record glory. At least for now those days are gone and its all very heavily based on the quality of the chip to control just how far your overclocking journey will go. And with recent chipset and CPU revisions it has become a game of binning chips to find a good one rather than tuning all night and days on end with a QX9650 because you know theres more in it, or getting a specific board because it tends to clock better. Now days overclocking is simple, they even have buttons to do overclocks for you. It used to be back in the old days (not that long ago but it makes it feel more special to reference as so) that overclocking required a ton of work, modding and hacking away at things to make it happen. But, it may not be stable at all times, and your GPU may throttle down because of the increased temperatures if you don't have a good GPU cooling system in place.Oh Overclocking, it seems to be whats makes the world go round some days and something that many motherboard manufacturers have really started to embrace as easier ways were found to do it. Yes, GPU overclocking can give you a 10-15 percent gaming performance boost. Always research your specific GPU specs and limits before overclocking. Please note that this is general advice and MakeUseOf is not responsible for any hardware damage that comes from overclocking. Most modern GPUs will cut out before anything truly awful happens.
This is usually a sign that you went overboard in overclocking your GPU, so pulling back the clock speed a notch should fix this up. But, if that sounds worrisome, the worst that will happen is a crash, freeze, or a blue or black screen, easily fixable with a simple computer restart. GPU overclocking can increase your operating temperatures, putting more stress on your GPU. Here are some frequently asked questions about GPU overclocking and their answers.
