DO NOT remove the thermal module. The thermal conditions should be monitored.
The following item appears only when you set the DRAM Switching Frequency to [Manual].
Fixed DRAM Switching Frequency (KHz) [300]
This item allows you to set a higher frequency for a quicker transient
response speed. Use the <+> or <-> to adjust the value. The values range
from 300 KHz to 500 KHz with an interval of 50 KHz.
Do not remove the thermal module when the manual mode is selected. The thermal
