3 Chapter

The following item appears only when you set the CPU Strap to [100MHz], [125MHz], [167MHz], or [250MHz].

Source Clock Tuner [Auto]

This item allows you to select the source clock based on the assigned CPU strap for a better overclocking capability.

Configuration options: [8Ohm dbl] [7Ohm dbl] [6Ohm dbl] [5Ohm dbl] [4Ohm dbl] [3Ohm dbl] [2Ohm dbl]

PLL Selection [Auto]

This item is set to LC PLL by default for better stability. Select SB PLL when the BCLK (base clock) frequency is far away from 100 MHz. This may affect the function of other devices that need precise clock jitters.

Configuration options: [Auto] [LC PLL] [SB PLL]

Filter PLL [Auto]

Set this item to high BCLK (base clock) mode when using a very high BCLK to improve overclocking capability.

Configuration options: [Auto] [Low BCLK mode] [High BCLK mode]

BCLK Frequency [Auto]

This item allows you to set the BCLK (base clock) frequency to enhance the system performance. Use the <+> or <-> to adjust the value. The values range from 80.0 MHz to 300.0 MHz.

We recommend you to set the value based on the CPU specification, as high BCLK frequencies may damage the CPU permanently.

Initial BCLK Frequency [Auto]

This item allows you to start overclocking the system from the initial BCLK (base clock) frequency to the assigned BCLK frequency. Use the <+> or <-> to adjust the value. The value ranges depend on the value you set on BCLK Frequency.

ASUS MultiCore Enhancement [Auto]

[Auto]

This item allows you to maximize the oveclocking performance optimized

 

by ASUS core ratio settings.

[Disabled]

This item allows you to set to default core ratio settings.

CPU Core Ratio [Per Core]

This item allows you to set the CPU core ratio limit per core or synchronize automatically to all cores.

Configuration options: [Auto] [Sync All Cores] [Per Core]

The following item appears only when you set the CPU Core Ratio to [Per Core].

1-Core Ratio Limit [Auto]

Select [Auto] to apply the CPU default Turbo Ratio setting or manually assign a 1-Core Limit value that must be higher than or equal to the 2-Core Ratio Limit.
