Ok, after reading some forums it seems that the 2011-3 socket processors do have unused pins that can be used for extra vrms.
Downside is that it makes it very easy to fry your cpu.
Sounds dumb

Holy shit msi treats overclocking like the most amazing thing you can do to a gayming pc until you can't even boot into windows.

Nothing has changed.

I had to go to 3rd party sites just to figure out what this was about. MSI's website sucks.

The only people stupid enough to buy this shit probably would blow their cpu up with 'muh oc'

>Does Broadwell-E have pads that aren't typically used?

this has been the case for most sockets in the last 5 years, but using them rarely impacts performance or stability in a meaningful way.

Generally they are used for prototyping, probing/testing, or nonstandard hardware.
