Hardware Installation
Gear Button
Changes BCLK stepping to 0.1 MHz or 1 MHz.
CPU BCLK Up Button (FREQ_UP):
Raises the CPU base clock.
CPU Ratio Down Button (RATIO_DW):
Lowers the CPU ratio.
CPU Ratio Up Button (RATIO_UP):
Raises the CPU ratio.
OC Buttons
GIGABYTE's unique OC buttons help enthusiasts and overclockers not only get the most performance from
their hardware, but also the absolute most enjoyable OC experience with features like overclocking the CPU in
real-time, automatically loading the most optimized overclocking configuration for the processor and memory,
and loading users' customized settings, etc.
Before using the overclocking buttons, make sure to load the optimized defaults in BIOS Setup to
return the BIOS settings to factory defaults.
OC Tag button:
This button allows users to load their customized settings (using the Save to Tag profile created in BIOS Setup) so you can
apply your custom settings after clearing CMOS.
OC Turbobutton:
Press this button to load the most optimized GIGABYTE overclocking configuration
for your processor and memory.
CPU BCLK Down Button (FREQ_DW):
Lowers the CPU base clock.
OC Trigger switch (TGR):
This switch allows the overclockers to jump between low and extremely high frequencies in an instant. After remaining at a
low frequency during system boot and OS optimization, the overclocker can then engage the Trigger Switch to instantly hit
the target frequency, save their score submission, grab a screen shot, and watch the records tumble.
2: Safe frequency (using the lowest CPU ratio, which may vary by CPU)
1: Target frequency set in BIOS Setup or other overclocking application.
OC Ignition button (ENPWR_BUTTON):
The OC Ignition feature maintains power to your motherboard and connected components while the system is shut down.
After pressing this button, be sure to press the power button to take effect.
OC PCIe switch (PCIE_SW)
This switch allows you to manually turn off specific PCI Express slot(s) (except for the PCIEX16_2 and PCI
Express x1 slots) without physical removal.
