Hello everyone!
I'm a user of HWBOT for about 4 years, had about 60 points on my old HWBOT account, haven't done much on this one.
I don't know much about intel's lower end lineup, and I was under the impression that all of the 1155 pentiums were locked multiplier. Well I threw together a computer for office use today with an EVGA P67 SLI board and a Pentium G640, and while messing around in the bios, noticed that I was able to set a different value in the processor's multiplier setting. I saved the bios and to my surprise, The BIOS is showing the value I've set.
I have not installed windows yet, but I certianly will get a cpuz validation when I do.
I'm wondering if anyone has more information as to why this is possible?
