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.

This jumper allows you to enable or disable the advanced CPU and DRAM overvoltage
settings in BIOS.
OV_CPU

Pins 1-2 (Default)
0.8V - 1.92V

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

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.
