Conclusion........

     The Gigabyte G1-Turbo was very quick to please! With very straight forward settings, I easily achieved a very stable overclock. In fact, the G1-Turbo was able to hold a stable system at a higher bus speed than had previously been achieved by the same CPU used in testing. The only thing official about overclocking is that it will void your CPU warranty as soon as your save the setting in your motherboard CMOS, and reboot. Of course, there is no real way to know if a component has been damaged by overclocking. In theory, a strong power surge can do the same kind of damage as an overly aggressive overclock. More often than not, a CPU doesn't burn up and turn into a smelly column of smoke from overclocking. Instead what you get with a poor overclock is a very unstable system that can't reach the Windows desktop or shows the Blue Screen of Death as soon as you hit the Start button. As with any system, stability is top priority, and if a motherboard can't hold a system stable while it's overclocked, than the board is worthless.
