Sandy bridge OC Guide

[sin0822]

yeah, but it sucks short before release... all reviews are written and now it looks like the intel is the best OC board only because they don´t share the info / setting the partners.

@ _mat_

yes its the "Internal PLL voltage override"

Yea man Thanks for all your help! i am sure the companies GB and ASUS are greatful! Thanks for helping out the community, I think all boards even the value boards shoudl have this, idk why Intel didn't tell em. hopfully it can be implemented with a simple BIOS flash.

Too bad its not as easy as puching the CPU PLL voltage, even so changing a setting to enabled is easier! lol

-Aussie- nah you don't need all those phases to power any CPU just more phases helps output very clean voltage. I think after looking at my own power coonsumption numbers only 4-8 phases are needed to power these CPUs, but for OCing it seems the more is ussually better, but you have to look at quality, if the boards price scales then there is somthing good, like Gigabyte and Asus boards even MSi in many cases.

What really scares me is all the reform in China over labor laws, I read that its going to push production cost high and that all manufacturers are hit, we will be seeing a 10% increase across the board it seems. Not that reform is bad, people need to live well too.
