4. Safe Boot button (SAFE_BOOT)
The Safe Boot button can be pressed anytime to force the system to reboot into the
BIOS safe mode. This button temporarily applies safe settings to the BIOS while
retaining any overclocked settings allowing you to modify the settings causing boot
failure. Use this button when overclocking or tweaking the settings of your system.
5. ReTry button (RETRY_BUTTON)
The ReTry button is specially designed for overclockers and is most useful during the
booting process where the Reset button is rendered useless. When pressed, it forces
the system to reboot while retaining the same settings to be retried in quick succession
to achieve a successful POST.
