In Overclocking, you are allowed to overclock CPU frequency for optimal system performance. In OC DNA, you can save your OC set- tings as a profile and share it with your friends. Your friends then can load the OC profile to their own system to get the same OC settings. In IES (Intelligent Energy Saver), the voltage regulator can reduce the number of output phases to improve efficiency when the CPU cores are idle without sacrificing computing performance. In XFast RAM, it fully utilizes the memory space that can- not be used under Windows® OS 32-bit CPU.
