Page 8 of 10 Intel D875PBZ motherboard overclocking
Intel has forever been against overclocking their motherboards and processors but are we to believe this is slowly becoming a thing of the fast? Intel’s DB875 motherboard also includes a key option by the name of “Burn-In”. Behind the scenes this name can be associated with a more widely used term “overclocking”. It is possible to overclock albeit slightly either the FSB or AGP/PCI buses. This enables a little extra value for money free performance, but is this all? The answer this time is an unfortunate yes, while the board houses the ability to overclock this feature remains simple and limited. It is best thought of as barely a “Burin-In” feature meant to validate system stability, helpful but not destined to grab the hearts of enthusiastic users globally abound. Benchmarking configuration
