[EDIT]hmmm.....whats going on at AMD? (and history of 3Dfx Rampage)

That article was full of errors.... Actually, it is complete and utter trash.  
Shame on them for being so freaking sloppy, if that is the even the culprit.  The fact that it is still up and still says the same words, even though they have been corrected on this, it is strangely suspicious.

Asrock set to correct Toms and what a massive blunder.  I do not understand how the older Toms article still exist, it is so wrong, complete misinformation.  Here is the update after asrock set to correct Toms:

The significant thing to remember here is that the original Toms article only listed two manufacturers that would have overclock abilities for nonZ170 boards.  Only asrock and sun micro.  And out of those, they claimed asrock boards would disable hyperthreading.  That is completely incorrect.  Bogus.

Not only that, when you use asrock boards and don't overclock, nothing is disabled. It's just like a normal board.  When you do overclock, you loose insignificant features.  C states, which overclockers typically turn off anyway, is not some grand compromise.  Turbo? Overclocking usually is done with turbo off.

There is very little loss.  The boards run like normal boards when not overclocked.  Tom should be embarrassed by the ignorance and should be sued for the massive disservice they have done with their original rubbish
