Do all or most boards automatically read the memory and CPU and set themselves to default BIOS settings (timings, voltages, multiplier, etc.) so that, for example on an X38 board, an E8400 CPU runs at 3.0 GHz and the FSB runs at 1333 or 1066 MHz (depending upon memory used) when powered up for the first time?
Do any boards have dependable automated OC'ing by having choices in the BIOS to somehow allow the board to make limited choices to bump overall speed by say, 10% or 20% or ...?... (OK, I realize that this part is heresy for OC'ers, but I am curious...)
Sorry for these two mundane questions, but I have not built a computer for four years and have returned to near noob status plus I have a senior case of AAADD* in which I do not remember how I set up my P4C800ED four years ago and would like to start with a stable board/computer before proceeding to relearn the details of OC'ing.
