— this category actually includes two categories of motherboards: gaming motherboards, originally designed for such applications, and for overclocking (overclocking), which initially have slightly different specifics.Initially, overclocker boards were called boards with advanced overclocking capabilities (for more details, see the relevant paragraph). Classic gaming models, on the other hand, featured original designs (often with backlighting and even backlight sync — see Features) and a set of additional features that increase efficiency in games — for example, compatibility with multiple video cards in Crossfire and/or SLI format ( see "Advanced"), a high-end network controller for online battles, built-in performance management tools, etc. However, both of these types of motherboards are generally distinguished by advanced features and extensive functionality, which makes them well suited for games; and nowadays the boundary between them is often erased altogether. For example, individual boards positioned by the manufacturer as gaming boards are more like overclocking models in terms of functionality (that's why they are listed as overclockers in our catalog, but they are also included in this category).
