The following item appears only when you install a CPU that supports the lock free feature. Only some latest CPUs support this feature.

CPU Lock Free [Auto]

This feature allows you to adjust the CPU multiplier to 14x. Setting this item to [Auto] allows the motherboard to automatically reduce the CPU multiplier value for more flexibility when increasing external FSB.

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

The following item appears only when you set the AI Overclocking item to [Manual].

CPU 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. Use the <+> and < - > keys to adjust the CPU frequency. You can also type the desired CPU frequency using the numeric keypad. The values range from 100 to 550.

DRAM Frequency [Auto]

Allows you to set the DDR operating frequency.

Configuration options: [Auto] [DDR2-400MHz] [DDR2-533MHz] [DDR2-600MHz] [DDR2-667MHz] [DDR2-800MHz]

Selecting a very high DRAM frequency may cause the system to become unstable! If this happens, revert to the default setting.
