The all new Athlon II X2 processors have shown an immense improvement in both performance and overclocking potential from their previous generation. The entire chips’ overclocking ability has benefited from the 45 nm architecture, and, with a very competitive price, the Athlon II X2 processors received the attention from overclockers everywhere as soon as they were released.
Global mainboard and graphics card producer, MSI, has unveiled two new motherboards with specific support for the Athlon II X2 series of processors – the C770-C45 and C770-C35. These two boards also support the Phenom II AM3 processors, and offer competitive pricing, robust specs and MSI’s unique technologies – APS intelligent power-saving, Easy OC Switch and MAX FSB easy overclocking technologies, etc. – to make them the best companion for the Athlon II X2 processors.
Utilizing the unique intelligent power-saving technology, APS
The all new MSI C770-C45 and C770-C35 mainboards equip the intelligent power-saving technology APS to better meet customer’s demands for environment-friendly energy conservation. APS automatically adjusts the power supplied to the system based on the computing demands to decrease the total amount of wasted energy expense to conserve energy and real money.
Easy OC Switch and MAX FSB easy overclocking technology support
In addition to power-saving functionality, these two boards also equip the Easy OC switch that allows the user to easily overclock. Simply switch it on in the BIOS and your system is overclocked – no difficult steps or in-depth knowledge required! MSI’s C770-C45 and C770-C35 mainboards also include Max FSB maximum overclocking testing technology. The user only needs to turn on this function and their system will automatically find the highest frequencies possible. When searching for the best possible frequency for your overclocking needs, this technology helps you to understand the processor’s full potential.
Absolutely secure BIOS protection device: M-Flash
In the BIOS functions, MSI added its M-Flash technology which allows the BIOS to be run from a USB storage device. In the event that the user’s PC becomes inoperable or unable to start, M-Flash allows the BIOS to be updated or to reset directly form the USB drive so that one can protect his/her system from all eventualities.
