Interesting thought but I got it from "very" good authority that there's no way around the BCLK strap issue and the "WHO' of this is someone I respect VERY much..Originally Posted by lutjens
I was just wondering that since x38 multi needs to be unlocked for the 1-2 cores scenario if somehow Asus found a way for the board could "cheat" a little and utilize that multi in the BIOS full time. Asus has done wacky things before that violate Intel dogma...
I had thought that perhaps the 38 multi was thermally controlled so maybe keeping the chips under X temp might fool it but it's locked solid.
Another thought:
I was thinking and it came to me that with each generation Intel takes more and more of the ability to overclock away from us.
Guys got their i7-920's to do the speeds of the 975's so what do we see next? SB chips with locked down BCLK's on the first P67 boards
Manufacturers got around this and now the boot at 100 is on the chip.
Now overclocking is probably what? Somewhere between 1-3% of their overall business BUT those overclockers spend way above the average of the normal user but we're still looked at like the red headed stepchild.
Oh yes, they toss us a bone here and there with the K or X unlocked multi desktop cpu's just to keep us quiet but at the same time do their damnest to
keep us "in our place"
There is no reason in hell that when someone spends $3800.00 for TWO damned cpu's that they should be disabled in any way shape or form.
Are you hearing me Intel? Unlock the multi's and enable the BCLK strap on the top E5-26xx cpu's!
