Albatron Anniversary Special Edition
Formulas
CPU Speed = CPU Clock Ratio * CPU Host Frequency
DDR Speed = DDR: CPU Ratio * CPU Host Frequency
(The CPU Clock Ratio is usually locked by the CPU manufacturer which means it will not be displayed. You can only adjust the CPU Host Frequency to change the CPU speed. For more details, please refer to the Frequency / Voltage Control section in Chapter 2.)
If you do not adjust the option, then the CPU Host Frequency will be equal of default CPU Host Frequency. Or you can adjust the “CPU Host Frequency” and “DDR: CPU Ratio” in the BIOS Setup Utility for overclocking the CPU and DDR RAM, but we do not guarantee that damage will or will not occur.
Overclocking example (to FSB 800): have an Intel® Pentium4 Host Frequency 1.7 GHz CPU (133MHz, 13 Ratio) and a DDR 400 RAM module plugged on Albatron
Note: The AGP and PCI frequencies are both calculated from the Default CPU Host frequency according to the table below. To determine your frequencies, first locate the row that corresponds to the “Default CPU Host frequency”. Then, calculate the AGP and PCI frequencies according to the formulas in the adjacent cells.
Default CPU Host frequency | PCI frequency | AGP frequency |
100 MHz | CPU Host frequency ÷ 3 | CPU Host frequency * (2/3) |
133 MHz | CPU Host frequency ÷ 4 | CPU Host frequency * (2/4) |
200 MHz | CPU Host frequency ÷ 5 | CPU Host frequency * (2/5) |
E.g.: If your “Default CPU Host frequency” is 133, then the AGP frequency will be 66 MHz and the PCI frequency will be 33 MHz.
Watch Dog Timer
This mainboard comes with a special feature called “Watch Dog Timer” which is used to detect when the system is unable to boot using the manual
On most systems you would need to remove the cover of your system and
Before Overclocking
Please make sure your system components are capable of overclocking.
If you are not familiar with the overclocking, we strongly recommend that you to set the clock to the default settings.
