Priced at RM1199 locally, the OCF provides a great starting point in your overclocking adventure and is highly recommended for serious overclockers who could not afford the overpriced rivals from ASUS, the Maximus VI Formula and Extreme. The ASRock Z87 OC Formula is a one of the few models that really offer everything desirable for extreme overclockers. There is one onboard USB 3.0 port between the 24-pin ATX connector and the DIMM slots, making BIOS flashing or screenshots saving easy without the needs to take look at the rear I/O panel to use the USB port. To the right side of the RAM slots you can see the 24-pin power connector, VProbe check points, Rapid OC buttons, Menu button, Slow Mode Switch, LN2 Mode switch and the PCIe on/off switches. The OCF has four DIMM slots that support up to 32GB of DDR3 dual channel RAM and speed up to 3000MHz+ via overclocking. Besides that, there are two 8-pin CPU power connectors which should supply enough power for the extreme overclocking. The design is pretty similiar to the OCF Z77, which would increase the heat generated by the overclocked system. The huge heatsink on the OCF offers twin-Power cooling by integrating both air (small fan) and water cooling (barb and water passage) into one solution. This mobo is powered by 12 Power Phase Design. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.A Close-up at the CPU socket area and power delivery. This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver. Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver.
It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available.
