Many motherboards built by MSI allow for easy overclocking of the CPU.
Micro-Star International, known more commonly as MSI, has a long and storied history of motherboard manufacturing, including being the company that introduced the concept of motherboards designed to overclock CPUs. This continued with the company's work with the P43 chipset from Intel, which was featured in a number of MSI's motherboards. Overclocking CPUs on these boards is a simple task, requiring you to only press a few buttons and possess some basic math skills.
