Your friends then can load the OC profile to their own system to get the same OC settings. In IES, you can enjoy the intelligent power saving feature. In XFast RAM, it fully utilizes the memory space that cannot be used under Windows® OS 32- bit CPU. It also shortens the loading time of previously visited websites, making web surfing faster than ever. And it also boosts the speed of Adobe Photoshop 5 times faster. Another advantage is that it reduces the frequency of accessing your SSDs or HDDs in order to extend their lifespan. In Multi Thermal Sensor, it provides users the temperature of various parts of the motherboard graphically, so that users may precisely keep track and control of the temperature of each parts of their motherboard when overclocking.
