Untied Overclocking Technology

This motherboard supports Untied Overclocking Technology, which means during
overclocking, FSB enjoys better margin due to fixed AGP / PCI buses. Before you
enable Untied Overclocking function, please enter "Overclock Mode" option of BIOS
setup to set the selection from [Auto] to [CPU, AGP, Async.]. Therefore, CPU FSB is
untied during overclocking, but AGP / PCI buses are in the fixed mode so that FSB can
operate under a more stable overclocking environment.
Please refer to the warning on page 7 for the possible overclocking risk before
you apply Untied Overclocking Technology.
