3)Safe Mode Setting (SAFE_MD)

For processors with locked frequency multiples, there is no way to exceed the specified multiple whether through motherboard settings or BIOS setup. With unlocked processors, exceeding the specified multiple is possible through BIOS setup. Exceeding the specified multiple may result in hanging during bootup. If this occurs, enable Safe Mode to force a multiple of 2 in order to enter BIOS setup to correct the problem.
