Incorrectly doing overclock/overvoltage may result in damage to CPU, chipset, or memory and reduce the useful life of these components. This page is for advanced users only and we recommend you not to alter the default settings to prevent system instability or other unexpected results. (Inadequately altering the settings may result in system's failure to boot. If this occurs, clear the CMOS values and reset the board to default values. ) · When the System Voltage Optimized item blinks in red, it is recommended that you set the System Voltage Control item to Auto to optimize the system voltage settings.

Allows you to alter the frequency of the CPU North Bridge controller. Core Performance Boost(Note) CPB Ratio(Note) Allows you to determine whether to enable the Core Performance Boost (CPB) technology, a CPU performance-boost technology. Auto (default) allows the BIOS to automatically adjust the CPU host frequency. Note: If your system fails to boot after overclocking, please wait for 20 seconds to allow for automated system reboot, or clear the CMOS values to reset the board to default values. This option is configurable only when CPU Host Clock Control is set to Manual. Important It is highly recommended that the CPU frequency be set in accordance with the CPU specifications.
