Auto

Set Memory frequency by DRAM SPD data. (Default value)

Memory Frequency (Mhz)

The values depend on "Memory Frequency For" item.

DIMM OverVoltage Control

Please note that by overclocking your system through the increase of the DIMM voltage, damage to the memory may occur.

Normal

Set DIMM OverVoltage Control to Normal. (Default value)

+0.1V

Set DIMM OverVoltage Control to +0.1V.

+0.2V

Set DIMM OverVoltage Control to +0.2V.

+0.3V

Set DIMM OverVoltage Control to +0.3V.

(Note) To use a DDRII 600 memory module on the motherboard, you must install an 800MHz FSB

processor and set Memory Frequency For to 3.00.
