9.F-Stream is an all-in-one tool to fine-tune different system functions in a user-friendly interface, which currently includes Hardware Monitor, Fan Control, Overclocking, OC DNA, Mouse Polling and IES. In the Hardware Monitor mode, F-Stream shows the major readings of your system. In Fan Control mode, F-Stream shows the fan speed and temperature for you to adjust. In Overclocking Control mode, F-Stream allows you to overclock the CPU frequency for optimal system performance. In OC

DNA mode, you can save your OC settings as a profile and share them with your friends. Your friends can then load the OC profile in to their own system to get the same OC settings. In Mouse Polling mode, F-Stream allows you to adjust the mouse polling rate of the Fatal1ty Mouse port to add a professional level mouse configuration. In IES (Intelligent Energy

Saver) mode, the voltage regulator can reduce the number of output phases to improve efficiency when the CPU cores are idle without sacri- ficing computing performance.
