MB Intelligent Tweaker(M.I.T.)
Whether the system will work stably with the overclock/overvoltage settings you made is dependent
on your overall system configurations. Incorrectly doing overclock/overvoltage may result in
damage to CPU, chipset, or memory and reduce the useful life of these components. This page is
for advanced users only and we recommend you not to alter the default settings to prevent system
instability or other unexpected results. (Inadequately altering the settings may result in system's
failure to boot. If this occurs, clear the CMOS values and reset the board to default values.)
When the System Voltage Optimized item blinks in red, it is recommended that you set the System
Voltage Control item to Auto to optimize the system voltage settings.
(Note)
This item is present only when you install a CPU that supports this feature.
