I don't see how this is patent infringement? The extra pins are already there anyway and simply unused. Now if the other mainboard manufacturers use the same software/hardware design to take advantage of that they might have a case, but I doubt they would really be that stupid and/or lazy and have surely come up with designs of their own. All that leaves then is the basic idea of using those extra pins to provide more OCing potential which, to my mind, can't be patented can it?
