This page contains a summary of the important notes that must be
given special attention to prior to using the system board.
Over Voltage
The Over Voltage function allows you to manually adjust to a higher
core voltage that is supplied to the CPU. Although this function is
supported, we do not recommend that you use a higher voltage
because unstable current may be supplied to the system board
causing damage.
CPU Overclocking
The CPU Overclocking function allows you to adjust the processors
bus clock by 1MHz stepping. However, overclocking may result to
the processors or systems instability and are not guaranteed to
provide better system performance.
GPA
The system board supports 4MB display cache. To use this function,
you must install a 4MB GPA (Graphics Performance Accelerator)
card into the AGP slot. The GPA card is optional.
Processor
The frequency ratio of some processors may have been locked
by the manufacturer. If you are using this kind of processor,
setting an extended ratio for the processor will have no effect.
The system will instead use its factory default ratio.
The frequency ratio of processors greater than 8x has been
locked by the manufacturer and will no longer have the flexibility
of using extended ratios. Therefore, the system will use the
processors factory default ratio.
If you want to manually select the CPUs FSB (using JP9 and
JP10) instead of using its default setting which is Auto, make sure
the Open Slight Adjust field in the CPU Frequency Control
submenu of the BIOS is set to Disabled.
