Intels offical reply of the Overcloking limit

[Regs]

"Intel has done extensive evaluation of our 915G/P and 925X chipset products and have designed them to run robustly at 800FSB. Any use or operation of these chipsets beyond their specifications, including overclocking, has not been evaluated or validated by Intel. If a board provider decides to overclock their platform, they do so at their own risk, since this action will void the warranty for the Intel products. Additionally, from time to time, Intel may choose to implement functionality that helps to ensure that the Intel product experience is not degraded by those who may try to run our products out of spec."

They forgot to admit that they actually put a lock on it. lol. It's a nice way of saying they want to make sure you get what you pay for.

Hasn't this been their reply on overclocking for about a decade now?

Its called no more 875 goodness

Meh, overclocking was bound to end someday.

 

[DaTT]

Yeah...but where thers a will, theres a way. Someone will figure something out.

Only when it can no longer be done due to the parts not working at higher speeds.

Where there is a human mind, modification and adaptation will survive

i wouldnt say that yet. rumor has it some mobo companys are gonna put out a socket 755 board with the 875 northbride(hopefully the ich6 as the south). hopefully sis and via will step up with some chipsets that overclock beyond 24%.

IHC6 can't be used as the Southbridge; it requires a PCI-E connection to the Northbridge.

ATi, SiS, ALi, and VIA all make p4 chipsets too.

All they did was close off the overclockers market from buying their chipsets.

maybe nvidia could slap there pci-express bridge chip on a motherboard:laugh:

If they can build a 875 chipset with the LGA 755 sokcet, you have it made.
