Pins 2-3

(OV Enabled)

0.8V

- 2.3V

1.2V

- 2.3V

• Before you change the jumper settings for extra-high overvoltage ability, use the BIOS items first to adjust the desired CPU and DRAM performance. Ensure that your system functions well under the highest BIOS voltage settings before you change the settings.

•DO NOT set the OV_CPU/DRAM jumper to pins 2-3 when you install a new CPU and have not booted for the first time. Doing so may halt the system. For system failure due to wrong setting of the OV_CPU/DRAM jumper, shut down your computer and insert the jumper cap back to pins 1-2.

•According to Intel CPU specifications, DIMMs with voltage requirement over 1.65V may damage the CPU permanently. We recommend you ro install the DIMMs with the voltage requirement below 1.65V.

•The system may need a better cooling system (for example, a water cooling system) to work efficiently under high voltage settings.
