This motherboard supports Untied Overclocking Technology, which means during

overclocking, FSB enjoys better margin due to fixed AGP / PCI / PCIE bus. You may

set “CPU Host Frequency” option of BIOS setup to [Auto], which will show you

the actual CPU host frequency in the following item. Therefore, CPU FSB is untied

during overclocking, but AGP / PCI / PCIE bus is in the fixed mode so that FSB can

operate under a more stable overclocking environment.
