Colorful has announced its iGame X870E VULCAN OC motherboard, which dazzles in both appearance and features for the PC enthusiast. This premium AM5 gaming motherboard features a customizable 268×800 LCD, allowing users to monitor system metrics or display their own images along with stylish RGB lighting. An 18+2+2 power phase design combined with a 10-layer PCB made with an electroless silvering process, and support for up to 10,400 MT/s DDR5 memory, gives users the overclocking edge. Colorful states that the iGame X870E VULCAN OC was used to overclock the Ryzen 7 9800X3D to 7.335 GHz.

“Even ahead of its formal launch, the motherboard had already made headlines by achieving a new overclocking milestone, successfully pushing the AMD Ryzenâ„¢ 7 9800X3D processor to an impressive 7335.48MHz — securing the top position globally for this CPU model in high-frequency rankings.”

Upto 3x Gen5 M.2 SSDs can be installed, and LAN support includes a high-speed 5GBe port, and an integrated WiFi 7 module provides the latest wireless support. From dual BIOS to a one-click overclocking button, overclocking is easily achievable, but it can also be manually configured in the BIOS with many options. This premium motherboard also features an assortment of heat sinks, component covers, and cooling solutions, which have all been designed to reduce temperatures while adding to well-thought-out aesthetics.

“The iGame X870E VULCAN OC retains the Vulcan series’ signature futuristic aesthetics, finished in deep black with multi-layer metal heatsinks that deliver both visual impact and thermal efficiency. A fin-array cooling structure and integrated full-coverage backplate ensure long-term stability under sustained high loads.”

As a child of the 70’s I was part of the many who became enthralled by the video arcade invasion of the 1980’s. Saving money from various odd jobs I purchased my first computer from a friend of my dad, a used Atari 400, around 1982. Eventually it would end up being a lifelong passion of upgrading and modifying equipment that, of course, led into a career in IT support.
