Were THG being sarcastic about MSI mobo OCing?

"Our lab engineers made a curious discovery when they were examining MSI's 865 Neo 2. The manufacturer has incorporated an ingenious logic circuit that increases the FSB speed between 6 and 8 percent while programs are running; the processor is automatically overclocked."

Ingenius? Sounds more underhanded to me than ingenius.

It is very underhanded but in the same regard it is ingenious it was hidden pretty well. This soundas like pretty cool technology and i might take a second look at this board, when i pick one in two weeks or so.

BTW I wonder why they didn't do this with there Canterwood board?

--------
The only thing that i truly know...

is that i know nothing at all.

if they are that confident that every cpu on that mobo can increase teh fsb by 8% and remain stable, why dont they just sell it at that speed?

Ah so you were commenting on the board, not THG's typing!
I thought you were attacking a THG quote as if they were uninformed.
Yes I totally agree. It's a nice feature, but it's a cheat if not mentioned anywhere, a VERY BIG one, despite being for the good.
