ROG Motherboards Claim Four More World Performance Records
ASUS performance brand ROG continues to empower overclocking champions worldwide. On motherboards designed for Intel and AMD processors, multiple fresh records have been clocked in CPU frequencies, SuperPi 32M, and wPrime 32M/1024M, proving ROG is at the forefront of delivering highly tunable and extra-stable motherboards.
Best platform for dedicated overclockers and new records
The superior quality of ROG boards serves as a launching point for their performance mastery. Smart engineering, the finest components, and durable materials all contribute to motherboards that can handle the duress of dedicated overclocking experimentation. Built to sustain peak performance at all times, ROG motherboard offerings further ship with numerous overclocking and tuning-focused features, making them the most favored destination for enthusiasts aiming to push the PC performance envelope. The emphasis on catering to the overclocking community extends across product ranges, and covers Intel and AMD-based models.
Four new global records set
ROG Maximus V Extreme has become a regular record-breaker since its release, this time marking a new SuperPi 32M high at the ROG Camp in Berlin. Overseen by ROG master overclocker Andre Yang, the new record stands at 4'42.656", a considerable gain compared to the previous high of 4'43". An Intel Core i7-3770K was used in attaining this record.
An ROG Crosshair V Formula-Z and an AMD FX-8350 also commanded by Andre cracked existing CPU-Z processor frequency records by pushing the CPU to an impressive 8670.22 MHz.
At the same time, Hong Kong-based overclocker John Lam of HKEPC utilized the ROG Crosshair V Formula-Z to chalk up two world records in wPrime. For the 32M benchmark, he managed 4.532", while in 1024M his new global record is 143.766". John used an AMD FX-8350 processor in setting both records.

Boards of that class like I mentioned have all the power bits and bios options needed to get there.. I almost feel that, at least frquency records, can be done on any other top notch board. Again times will vary by board of course.
i'll have to take your word for it I guess.
Gigabbyte does as well on many BIOSes, called "Legacy Benchmark Enhancement".
I don't think OEMs see any real value in holding back tweaks like those any more. the cost of LN2 cooling is what keep users from pushing too far, anyway, so it's not as big of a deal as it was in the past. These guys setting records are all recruited by OEMs expressly for this purpose, and they are very open about doing that now. I see no foul if they did use a custom BIOS...these sorts of PC uses really aren't intended for most people, and those that want to get into it, now, can. I have no issue with the OC scene as it is right now, other than some people with-holding tweaks.
YOu owe me! I need some 3/8 fittings man? :pimp:
