The definition of "stock" performance is getting muddier and muddier. Mobo with MCE on is essentially overclocking your cpu for you. I wonder if it is a matter of encouragement by Intel or this is just one of those things they do try to differentiate from other mobos.I wonder why Intel didn't just set the TDP at 120W to have better "stock" specs instead. 95W is way too restrictive for this high clocked 8/16 cpu.
