3.4.16NB Voltage [Auto]

Allows you to set the North Bridge voltage. The values range from 1.10V to 2.06V* with a 0.02V interval.

•The value [2.06V] of the NB Voltage item is supported only if the OV_NB

jumper is enabled, otherwise the maximum voltage supported is [1.76V]. See 2. CPU / Northbridge overvoltage setting on page 2-19 for details.

• Setting the CPU PLL Voltage, FSB Termination Voltage, DRAM Voltage

and NB Voltage items to a high level may damage the chipset, memory module and CPU permanently. Proceed with caution.

• Some values of the CPU PLL Voltage, FSB Termination Voltage, DRAM Voltage and NB Voltage items are labeled in different color, indicating the risk levels of high voltage settings. Refer to the table below for details.

• The system may need better cooling system to work stably under high voltage settings.

3.4.17 NB GTL Voltage Reference [Auto]

Allows you to set the Northbridge GTL voltage reference. Different ratio might enhance CPU overclocking ability. The values range from 0.370x to 0.760x with a 0.005x interval.

3.4.18SB Voltage [Auto]

Allows you to set the South Bridge voltage. The values range from 1.10V to 1.40V with a 0.10V interval.

3.4.19PCIE SATA Voltage [Auto]

Allows you to set the PCI Express SATA voltage. The values range from 1.50V to 1.80V with a 0.10V interval.

3.4.20Load-Line Calibration [Auto]

Allows you to select the CPU Load-Line mode. Set to [Disabled] to follow Intel specifications, or to [Enabled] to improve CPU VDroop directly.

Configuration options: [Auto] [Disabled] [Enabled]
