MSI Puts Overclocking Genie in Motherboard
Hopefully it'll work more than just three times.
Tweaking motherboard settings is a key part of overclocking. It's all about finding just the right configuration that will push your hardware to the limit without making it unstable.
Tweaking BIOS settings can be a time consuming task, but MSI believes that it has a new motherboard feature that will grant your OC wishes. HotHardware reports on what's called the OC Genie, which can supposedly automatically detect the optimal settings for the system and activate them at the push of a button.
Besides the photo, there isn't much more to go on. We hope to see more when the P55 motherboards from MSI finally hit.

Well played sir, well played. Got me by 1 minute. -
Gryphyn If they wanted to be really smart, they would make the button mountable, so you can hit it to OC on the fly once the profiles had been set.Reply -
ckthecerealkiller This will probably be just like Nvidia's and ATI's offerings for overclocking. Gives a real basic overclock and won't void your warranty. While these can be good for those less hardcore they are very unlikely to replace traditional OC'ing methods.Reply -
pender21 I'm sure Toms hardware or other sites that review and overclock PC hardware may appreciate this if it is standardized and comes on every motherboard.Reply -

Yes, very likely. Why would they include an automated feature that might damage their own hardware.
