Before you enable Untied Overclocking function, please enter "Overclock Mode" option of BIOS setup to set the selection from [Auto] to [CPU, PCIE, Async.]. Therefore, CPU FSB is untied during overclocking, but AGP / PCI / PCIE buses are in the fixed mode so that FSB can operate under a more stable overclocking environment. 3.
