As a competitive overclocker, I appreciate the overclocking motherboard market. When I started overclocking it was to get better day-to-day performance and get a boost in game frame rates. Back then it was fairly nice to say you had a 40-50% overclock on...
The first question we post to ourselves once the dust settled was pretty straightforward: do we try to evaluate the SOC Champion with an eye towards your average consumer that might just want it because of the unique black and orange colour scheme or do w...

Potencia fuera de toda duda, Diseñada para OC, con multitud de opciones y modos, Excelentes acabados; diseñada para durar, Chip de audio dedicado, leds decorativos, sistemas de alta resistencia., BIOS muy completa
Precio elevado: no es una placa para todo el mundo

Aunque es más económica que la X99SOC Force, esperábamos un precio alrededor de los 270 dólares.
