6. Slow Mode Switch (SLOW_MODE)
Slow Mode Switch is employed during LN2 benching. The system may crash due to
the CPU being unstable when using extreme overclocking, enabling slow mode will
decrease the processor frequency and stabilize the system, allowing overclockers to
keep track of their overclocking data.
8. Pause switch (PAUSE)
The pause switch allows you to freeze the cooling system at a hardware level, thus
allowing you to adjust your system settings under heavy overclocking.
