Owners of non-K 14th Gen Intel processors have something interesting to look forward to. ASRock has released new BIOS' for its range of Z790 motherboards that allow you to get some 'free' performance. ASRock says it will roll out the update to its other LGA 1700 motherboards with 600 and 700-series chipsets in the near future.

The BIOS enables access to a setting called CEP, or Current Excursion Power. It allows locked 14th Gen processors to bypass current limits, therefore allowing them to reach and sustain higher core clocks.
