Intel Puts the Lock on Overclocking

Posted by michael on from the stop-in-the-name-of-love dept.

Patrick Schmid writes "Intel included an overclocking-prevention mechanism into the 915/925 chipsets. So far, only Asus and Gigabyte know how to override it. You can start from the beginning or jump to where we discuss the overclocking lockout."

    From the article:
    If the CPU clock exceeds the threshold ... , the required PLL (Phase Lock Loop) will reset and won't refuse to lock that frequency.

    What is it? Will it lock the frequency? Will it not refuse to lock the frequency? Will it? Won't it???
