As a leading manufacturer in motherboard industry, AOpen always listens to what customers want and develop products to fit
different user's requirements. Reliability, compatibility, leading technology and friendly features are our basic goals when
designing motherboards. Other than above mentioned design criteria, there are power users who are always seeking to push
the limitation of the system performance by overclocking who we call them "Overclocker".
This section is dedicated to overclockers.
This high performance motherboard is designed for maximum 133MHz CPU bus clock. But it comes with clock generator of
248MHz when we design it to accommodate future CPU bus clock. Our lab test results shown that 166MHz is achievable when
proper setting and qualified components were presented, we feel quite comfortable overclocking to 166MHz. Not only that, this
motherboard has full-range (CPU core voltage) settings and an option to adjust CPU core voltage. The CPU clock ratio can be
up to 12.5x that supports almost all of Athlon / Duron / AthlonXP CPUs in the future and provides flexibility for overclockers. For
your reference, the following configurations are what we feel comfortable at 166MHz bus clock.

But not guaranty.
Tip: Note that overclocking may
also cause thermal problem. Please
make sure that the cooling fan and
the
heatsink
were
adequate
dissipate
excessive
generated by overclocking the CPU.

Warning: The design of this product follows CPU and chipset vendor's
design guideline. Any attempts to push beyond product specification are
not recommended and you are taking your own risk to damage your
system or important data. Before doing overclocking, you must make sure
your components are able to tolerate such abnormal setting, especially
CPU, SDRAM, hard disks, and AGP VGA cards.
