Next Gen DFI boards get OC profiles from the WWW

jmke · 11th June 2008, 13:41

DFI HAS LONG been the overclocker's company of choice for boards, and now they are branching out. Yes, it is still all about OCing, but now they are trying to make it more accessible to the layman.

The idea is to have one button overclocking, but do the overclocking right. To this end, DFI harnessed the F1 key and the internet. Each mobo that supports the one button technology has downloadable profiles with four banks of settings. You load a profile, and reboot. Pressing the F1 key loads bank four and tests those settings.

Should those fail, it goes back to bank three, then two and finally one, each one progressively more mild an OC. The goal is idiot-proofing the OC process, and so far, so good.
