Żaden kompletny test nie obejdzie się bez wyników podkręcania. W końcu to ostatnio możliwości O/C wyznaczają przydatność procesora w oczach potencjalnego entuzjasty. Także i tym razem będzie podobnie.
Skoro przy pomocy kilku ustawień w BIOS-ie można uzyskać spory przyrost wydajności, dlaczego z tego nie skorzystać? Oczywiście są zastosowania, w których podkręcać procesora nie wypada, niemniej dziś nie będziemy sobie nimi zawracać głowy. Jak kręcą się nowe CPU? Całkiem nieźle.
