New BIOS removed TDP Limit, due to hundreds of users complaining to ASUS. I can now use 21x multiplier and Turbo mode.

Turbo mode FTW! lol
But what is it?... I remember the turbo button on the computers when I was in elementary school (some 15 years ago) that provided a temporary OC but I didn't know it still existed.

Yeah I remember those 'turbo' buttons on front of case lol! , were going back a bit now
x58 boards have a 'turbo' facility that can be used, problem is that it drops the multiplier when TDP limit is reached (or what it thinks is max), so my 21x would normally be dropped to 20x (automatically) because I'm over 4GHz, buy hey, I'm on 'water', so that don't matter one jot! It's a 'fail-safe' protection I guess that some don't need
Gonna up it more as my temps are pretty good @ 4.2 ATM, wanna see how far this baby goes, but not for 24/7 use
