Thats how I undersatood it. If TDP, Temp and voltage stability are all in -pre specced parameters you get the Turbo +1 multi, but if they're not, you're back to max stock multi (20x for the i920). However it seems all boards come with a way around those checks so you can effectively force the +1 multi permanently via bios option(s).
