Overclocking Design Tips
How enthusiast board/system designs
influence overclockability
• Efficient Cooling Through Layout Design
• High Quality Components
− Long-life solid polymer & MLCC Capacitors
− High current MOSFETs
− Low DCR inductors
− Advanced digital buck controllers
− More copper in power plane
• Careful Analysis of Signal Integrity:
− Tight control of trace impedance on PCB, more
layers, shorter lengths & length matching
− Tuning of MRC to improve signal margins and
memory compatibility
• Dedicated hardware and software solutions:
− Hardware and software features that allow real-
time changes to overclocking parameters and
improve system stability for smooth overclocking
experience
• Intuitive UEFI
− Intuitive layout with customizable menus,
overclocking profiles (presets and user configured)
and extensive auto-rules for all parameters
− OC recovery with low-level UEFI flashing
