2.13 Untied Overclocking Technology

This motherboard supports Untied Overclocking Technology, which means during
overclocking, FSB enjoys better margin due to fi xed PCI / PCIE buses. Before you
enable Untied Overclocking function, please enter "Overclock Mode" option of BIOS
setup to set the selection from [Auto] to [Manual]. Therefore, CPU FSB is untied
during overclocking, but PCI / PCIE buses are in the fi xed mode so that FSB can
operate under a more stable overclocking environment.
Please refer to the warning on page 8 for the possible overclocking risk
before you apply Untied Overclocking Technology.
