Default 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. In this editorial, I try to explain the reason behind my decision to buy this mainboard, how this type of mainboard is also appealing to, for instance, crunchers and why this purchase is based on a long-term vision on how hardware vendors should deal with the different enthusiast markets. Here’s a different view on the X58A-OC 'situation'.

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
