So, when you dont even notice it will overclock itself? Why does that seem potential dangerous...?
Maybe they/you ment something different. |
Nope that is what I meant, Intel calles it "turbo" mode.
Speaking of "turbo" mode, in the old days cases have this turbo button where people would press it thinking it increased their cpu speed, while in reality all it's doing is just chaning the number on the LCD.
e.g. You have a Pentium 133MHz cpu and the LCD says 133, Pressing the turbo button makes the LCD say 266, but your cpu is still running at 133.  |
Not true. With turbo mode enabled it ran at normal speed, but when turbo was off it ran at a reduced speed for compatibility with older applications.

You do know any basic OS preferably windows can only support up to 4 GB ram then it will cancel out the slots. If your running 64x not sure how much it is...

x64=128GB or the max the board can support up to.
