All Solid CapacitorsCapacitors are the most important component for electronic product's power supply. The quality of the capacitors can impact the stability of the entire system. Currently there are two types of capacitors, electrolytic capacitors and solid capacitors. Compared to electrolytic capacitors, solid capacitors have a longer lifespan, and provide more stable power under high temperatures. More importantly, solid capacitors do not have any liquid materials inside, and thus will not suffer a leak which would infringe upon the product’s stability. With such benefits, it is no wonder that solid capacitors are very important for product quality's improvement.
OC Genie IIJust press the OC Genie button or enable OC Genie II function in the BIOS menu, this board will intelligently auto set clock/voltage of CPU and memory or iGPU, increasing overall system performance in one second.
