GIGABYTE thought long and hard about this and came up with a solution that will allow you to not only monitor your system settings while running VGA benchmarks in full screen mode, but also overclock your system from pretty much anywhere. This breakthrough application is called GIGABYTE Cloud OC and it gives you real time access to overclocking and system monitoring with the help of virtually any internet connected device such as an iPad, iPhone, notebook PC, netbook, or any smart phone with a browser. Please note that both the system and the device need to have either an internet or a Bluetooth connection.

GIGABYTE Hotkey OC brings a new experience level to overclocking by allowing you to seamlessly change between different overclocking settings through customizable keys on your keyboard. What makes Hotkey OC even better is that it can be done on-the-fly while you’re running a benchmark, so you can change multiple overclock settings as the benchmark runs through different tests.
