Even though the Dynamic Overclocking Technology is more stable
than manual overclocking, basically, it is still risky. We suggest
that users make sure that the CPU can afford to overclocking regu-
larly 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 Dy-
namic OverClocking first.

Meanwhile, there are two functions to protect user's system from
crashing.
-
There is a safe key "Ins" in BIOS. In case the overclocking
fails, you can press "Ins" key while system rebooting to re-
store to the BIOS defaults.
-
If the system incidentally reboot for four times, the BIOS will
also be restored to the defaults.
