Ai Overclock Tuner [Auto]

Allows selection of CPU overclocking options to achieve desired CPU internal frequency. Select either one of the preset overclocking configuration options:

Manual - Allows you to individually set overclocking parameters. Auto - Loads the optimal settings for the system.

X.M.P. - If you install memory module(s) supporting the eXtreme Memory Profile X.M.P.) Technology, choose this item to set the profile(s) supported by your memory module(s) for optimizing the system performance.

The following two items appear only when you set the Ai Overclock Tuner item to [Manual].

FSB Frequency [XXX]

Displays the frequency sent by the clock generator to the system bus and PCI bus. The value of this item is auto-detected by the BIOS. Input the desired CPU frequency using the numeric keypad. The values range from 200 to 800. Refer to the table below for the correct Front Side Bus and CPU External Frequency settings.
