ASUS X99-A, Socket 2011-3

ASUS OC Socket is an enhancement based on the reference LGA2011-3 design. Haswell-E CPUs actually have more contact pads than pins in the reference socket design. ASUS OC Socket utilizes this untapped resource through extra pins in the socket, which allows higher and more stable CPU frequency at lower voltage. ASUS OC Socket plays a vital part in enabling higher DDR4 memory frequencies, lower latencies and enhanced stability while overclocking

Drive CPU and DDR4 performance beyond all expectations!
Designed to break performance barriers, ASUS OC Socket utilizes extra pins to connect a proprietary circuit to contacts found on Haswell-E's land grid array (LGA). Combined with our customized UEFI, this exclusive feature enables higher DDR4 memory frequencies, lower latencies and enhanced stability while overclocking, extending all the way to extreme overclocking conditions, such as Liquid Nitrogen (LN2). OC Socket is 100% compatible with new Haswell-E LGA 2011-v3 CPUs, ensuring the ideal combination of overclocking performance and compatibility.
Make your memory go faster
This is the first platform to support DDR4 memory and it's able to drive memory frequencies to 3200MHz (and beyond when overclocked)! ASUS-exclusive T-Topology circuit design plus OC Socket provides superb memory-overclocking capability to unleash the full power of DDR4 by minimizing coupling noise and signal reflection. With innovative equidistant memory channels, it delivers the most balanced control and powerful overclocking compatibility. ASUS works with almost every DDR4 memory vendor to ensure the best compatibility
