Nothing groundbreaking here... Monkey see, monkey do...

Cool, great for people looking for marginal OC with budget.

In other news: Intel CEO Paul Otellini has just killed the CEOs of Asrock, Biostar, Asus, Gigabyte, and ECS for "exploiting him and butchering his annual income."

in other news, cpu price increase to compensate low revenue in other "areas"

mass confusion going on here with these changes.
is this a way mobo manufacturers are getting back at Intel because they are progressing
(future reference) to an everything on-chip platform limiting the mobos from having a full set of features like in older boards.
so just let almost every board starting now 'open-up'..?

sorry guys but the future the SOC and ARM is growing and that's bad news for desktop enthusiast..

I wonder if Intel is going to fix this in the next chipset stepping. Hope not.

I read somewhere that H-series mobos couldn't handle OC'ing. Was that guy crazy or not?

Also, is this worth paying the extra $40 or so for a K-series CPU?
