In this article is presented the ASRock motherboard ConRoe1333-eSATA2.
This motherboard is compatible with all Intel Socket 755 CPUs (FSB1333/1066/800/533MHz) except Quad Core.
The board can operate at FSB 1333 only in overclock mode and in this conditions the PCIE will be also overcoclocked at 115MHz

Because the board is based on chipset Intel® 945P/945G is limited to allow max only 4GB of RAM memory.

Another interesting feature that is the “Hybrid Booster” technology, for friendlier overclock.

A new overclocking technology concerning both performance and safety.

In order to provide advanced performance, the Hybrid Booster provides the CPU Multiplier, CPU Vcore voltage adjustment, CPU Frequency Stepless control, and AGP/PCI Frequency control features.

With the CPU Multiplier, power user could change the processor multiplier setting to get the best performance of CPU speed. The CPU Vcore adjustment helps to power up the CPU core voltage to support the CPU overdrive demand. The CPU Frequency Stepless control provides the CPU clock frequency upward/downward adjustment interface. The AGP/PCI Frequency control provides the interface of AGP/PCI frequency value setting.

However, to perform overclocking is at risk of hardware damage and boot failure. With two safety features, "ASRock U-COP" and "Boot Failure Guard", Hybrid Booster will minimize the risk of overclocking.

ASRock U-COP helps protect the CPU from overheating while the CPU frequency or core voltage is overdriven.

The Boot Failure Guard will automatically issue the safe boot up mode when improper overclocking settings result in system boot failure.

Under the double safety protections and with performance enhancement, Hybrid Booster is definitely a Safe Overclocking design for you.
