Asus har lavet en bios opdatering, 0507, til deres p5b board som bruger 965 chipsettet. De har dermed gjort det muligt at unlocke conroe multiplier nedad på, indtil videre, samtlige conroes. Derudover siger asus at der også er en del der kan låses op fra 14x til 6x.
Ikke nok med at det giver nye overclocking muligheder er det faktisk ensbetydende med at man kan få en x6800 til billige penge hvis man er lidt fingernem.
Der bliver testet med luftkøling, scythe, og de testede cpuer er: 6300, 6400, 6600 og 6700.
Det er interessant læsning og det sætter 965 chipsettet i nyt lys.
"Certainly this new BIOS makes the ASUS P5B a much more desirable motherboard. We do need to remind readers, however, that we have generally reached even higher overclocks on the 975X chipset when compared 1:1 with the 965P. ASUS has told us they are not finished with this "Conroe Unlock" feature and that they are working on BIOS revisions to also bring Core 2 Duo unlock to 975X chipset motherboards. We have seen hardware modifications to the Intel 975 BadAxe that allow unlocking, and it would be great if ASUS can accomplish the same with a simple 975 BIOS upgrade, as they have on the P5B Deluxe."
