Tom’s Hardware reports that Asus has finally started including BIOS that allow for some tweaking of the Socket 775 motherboards. Proving to nay sayers that state that Pentium is too difficult to overclock, tweak, etc, this out to have proud new Asus owners seeing just how far they can push things on their new boards.

It can finally be done. Asus now delivers BIOS versions with its Socket 775 motherboards that allow you to tweak Pentium 4 Prescott multipliers, which represents a first step by a mobo maker to unleash the processor’s overclocking potential.

While Asus’ ‘CPU Lock Free’ mobo BIOS feature won’t unlock the full potential of Pentium 4 multipliers, it does makes use of Intel Prescott’s Performance Requirement Bit feature. It is now thus possible to unlock the multiplier for high-end P4 Prescott processor.
