Reminds me of this one: MSI Core Center

And such features were available in some of the CPU cooling tools for some time by third party vendors. But they suffered from compatibility problems.

Return of the "Turbo" button: http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/article/1674.2/
(BTW who switched "turbo" off in 286-486 times? As it just meant standard clock speed) Now it becomes real overclocking.

IIRC it was really only gameplayers who could then achieve higher scores (albeit over longer times) by not dying so quickly, etc.

There were of course also the uninformed users who would complain about their PC going slowly. To fix it with one button press was of course always impressive to them.

It seems that providing such tools becomes a new sport amongst CPU and mainboard manufacturers.
