Overclocking just got better..
http://www.tomshardware.com/pictures...therboard.html
"This is the OC Palm tool, which ASUS includes with the P6T Deluxe. It attaches via USB 2.0 and facilitates real-time multiplier adjustments without needing to mess with the BIOS or even a Windows-based utility. According to ASUS, it interfaces with its TurboV controller to enable access to several voltages: northbridge, PCI Express, CPU PLL, and memory voltages in .02V increments. You can use the OC Palm to monitor voltage, fan speed, and temperature, too. A couple of hot key buttons will let you fire up saved profiles if you need an extra boost of speed and have a configuration stored that you know runs stably. " Awesome! It'd be great to push your system to it's (stable) limits, store that profile, store the 'default' profile and then underclock so that you have a power-saving mode for what most of us use our machines for 90% of the time, surfing, email, wordprocessing.... All switchable at the touch of a hotkey. Shame I'm only a year into my five-year PC replacement cycle. :-( Cheers, -- Shaun.

It will be two years for me early next year, so I will probably be doing a Nehalem build sometime around that time. The palm tool looks like a nice little toy, not just for overclocking but troubleshooting as well. Ed |
