2-8.2 JP8: CPU Clock/Overclock Select

JP8 is designed on board to select 100/133MHz CPU clock for the
system. By adjusting JP8, users can overclock the 100MHz CPU up to
133MHz.
1. Before setting the CPU clock, read the Identification Legend on the
CPU, find the Max FSB and divide it by two. The result is the default
value of your CPU clock.
2. If JP8 is set to 1-2 closed, CPU clock will
be autodetected by BIOS, indicating that
overclocking is not desired. The CPU then
will boot up system with the default CPU
clock.
3. If JP8 is set to 2-3 closed, CPU clock is set
to 133MHz, indicating that overclocking
(from 100 to 133MHz) is desired. The CPU
will try to boot up system with 133MHz even
if a 100MHz CPU is used.
However, if overclocking fails, system will
not be able to boot. In such case, you
should restore default Jumper Setting and
clear CMOS before rebooting system.
Notes on CPU Overclocking:
1. If you have successfully booted system with or without CPU
overclocking, you still can try another CPU overclocking on BIOS.
Please enter BIOS Setup, choose "Frequency/Voltage Control" menu,
and select the "Use Linear" option of the "Use CPU Linear Frequency".
Then configure the "CPU Clock" item to raise your CPU clock.
2. CPU overclocking should take all components on board into account.
If you fail in BIOS overclocking, you will not be able to restart system.
In such case, power off system and clear CMOS by JBAT1 as stated
below and then restart your system. And remember to reconfigure
whatever should be reconfigured.
3. If your system is already fixed in a cabinet or case, you may not like
to take the trouble to clear CMOS. Then power on your system with
the power button on the case and simultaneously press down the
"Insert" key on the keyboard until you see the initial bootup screen
appear. And remember you should also enter CMOS BIOS Setup
and choose "Load Optimized Defaults" to restore default BIOS .
