| The X58A-OC, the enthusiast community and a long-term vision In a couple of weeks, undoubtedly many hardware enthusiasts will lay their hands on GIGABYTE's upcoming completely new type of mainboard: the X58A-OC, a board built for overclocking. The team responsible for this peculiar board has, through various leaks on the official blog or the dedicated microsite, given you, the end-user, already a bunch of reasons why you should buy this board.

| don't see how it's not appropriate most OC fun is had with older hardware, a better challenge, more to tweak, less restrictions and easier on the wallet if it does break
