ASUS Secretly Overclocking Motherboards?

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the not-so-secret-anymore dept.

Hubert writes "It seems that the motherboard manufacturing industry is getting a little bit too competitive now that ASUS and many other manufacturers are secretly tweaking and overclocking the motherboard in default BIOS settings." A front side bus that's a mere 2 MHz faster may not seem like much of a tweak, but it's just enough to gain an edge over the competition.

    Pair this story with the little quote of the day "It's better to burn out than to fade away." Coincidence?
