D.O.T Control
This item allows users to select either/both of CPU and PCIE to be controlled under D.
O.T. The D.O.T. (Dynamic Overclocking Technology) is an automatic overclocking
function, included in the MSI
designed to detect the load balance of CPU while running programs, and to adjust the
best frequency automatically. W hen the motherboard detects system is running
programs, it will speed up automatically to make the program run smoothly and faster.
W hen the system is temporarily suspending or staying in the low load balance, it will
restore the default settings instead. Usually the Dynamic Overclocking Technology
will be powered only when users' PC need to run huge amount of data like 3D games
or the video process, and the CPU frequency need to be boosted up to enhance the
overall performance.
CPU D.O.T3 step1/2/3 setting
Due to D.O .T can detec t the CPU loading and increase the f requency with 3
overclocking steps. These items allow users to select the speed up range of each
step.
Important
Even though the Dynamic Overclocking Technology is more stable than
manual overclocking, basically, it is still risky. We suggest user to make
sure that your CPU / memory modules can afford to overclocking regularly
first. If you find the PC appears to be unstable or reboot incidentally, it's
better to dis able the Dy namic O v erc loc k ing or to lower the lev el of
overclocking options. By the way, if you need to conduct overclocking
manually, you also need to disable the Dynamic OverClocking first.
Intel EIST
The Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology allows you to set the performance level of
the microprocessor whether the computer is running on battery or AC power. This
field will appear after you installed the CPU which support speedstep technology.
Intel C-STATE tech
C-state is a power management state that significantly reduces the power of the
processor during idle. This field will appear after you installed the CPU which support
c-state technology.
Adjust CPU FSB Frequency (M Hz)
It is used to adjust CPU FSB frequency.
Disable this item, apply OC settings during POST.
Low frequency through the operating system initialization.
Medium frequency through the operating system initialization.
