Sandy Bridge OC without motherboard support
Hello,
I haven't been able to find any info on some kind of ghetto overclock modification on CPU multiplier/voltage for Intel's Sandy Bridge CPU's. Like it was possible to do on AMD's socketA and Intel's PII platform with painting/connecting certain pins on the CPU. Reason is OC on budget chipsets like H61, B75 and similar...
I'm safely presuming this is ether not possible or nobody bothered with this. I guess I wouldn't have bothered ether if I had a locked CPU, but recently I've gotten my hands on an i-2500K and a pair of nice RAM sticks from Mushkin (997000 - 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800 7-8-7-24 Redline)
Now I'm trying to find as cheap as possible motherboard that will allow multiplier OC in CPU, while also having DVI and HDMI outputs. So no P67 mobo's and if possible I'd like to use something cheaper than Z68 or Z77/Z75...
Do I have to go for Z68 or Z77/Z75 motherboard or there's some DIY ghetto OC modd out there?

I would be almost sure, that Intel is doing things that way, so you cannot utilize budget chipsets with overclocking.
But there is a quick test - if Google did not find anything about it, then it is likely, that it cannot be done. And I havent found anything... yet :(
