Dynamic Overclocking Dynamic Overclocking Technology is the automatic overclocking function, included in the MSITM's newly developed CoreCellTM Technology. It is designed to detect the load balance of CPU while running programs, and to adjust the best CPU frequency automatically. When the motherboard detects CPU is running programs, it will speed up CPU automatically to make the program run smoothly and faster. When the CPU is temporarily suspending or staying in the low load balance, it will restore the default settings instead. Usually the Dynamic Overclocking Technology will be powered only when users' PC need to run huge amount of data like 3D games or the video process, and the CPU frequency need to be boosted up to enhance the overall performance. Setting options: [Disabled] Disable Dynamic Overclocking. [Private] 1st level of overclocking, increasing the CPU frequency by 1%. [Sergeant] 2nd level of overclocking increasing the CPU frequency by 3%. [Captain] 3rd level of overclocking, increasing the CPU frequency by 5%. [Colonel] 4th level of overclocking, increasing the CPU frequency by 7%. MSI Reminds You... 1. Even though the Dynamic Overclocking Technology is more stable than manual overclocking, basically, it is still risky. We suggest user to make sure that your CPU can afford to overclocking regularly first. If you find the PC appears to be unstable or reboot incidentally, it's better to disable the Dynamic Overclocking or to lower the level of overclocking options. By the way, if you need to conduct overclocking manually, you also need to disable the Dynamic OverClocking first. 2. Meanwhile, there are two functions to protect user's system from crash. - There is a safe key "Ins" in BIOS. In case the overclocking fails, you can press "Ins" key while system rebooting to restore to the BIOS defaults. - If the system incidentally reboot for four times, the BIOS will also be restored to the defaults. 3-21
