3.5.1 CPU Level UP [Auto] Allows you to select a CPU level, and the related parameters will be automatically adjusted according to the selected CPU level. If you want to manually configure the settings in detail, set CPU Overclocking to [Manual] after selecting a CPU level. Configuration options: [Auto] [Phenom II-955] [Phenom II-3.4G] [Phenom II-3.6G] • The configuration options vary depending on the CPU model you install on the motherboard. • The CPU Level UP function support depends on CPU types. 3.5.2 CPU OverClocking [Auto] Allows you to select the CPU overclocking options to achieve the desired CPU internal frequency. Select any of these preset overclocking configuration options: Manual Auto D.O.C.P Overclock Profile Allows you to individually set overclocking parameters. Loads the optimal settings for the system. Allows you to select a DRAM O.C. profile, and the related parameters will be adjusted automatically. Allows you to select an overclocking profile. The configuration options for the following sub-items vary depending on the CPU/DIMMs you install on the motherboard. CPU/HT Reference Clcok (MHz) [XXX] This item appears only when you set the CPU OverClocking item to [Manual] or [D.O.C.P] and displays the frequency sent by the clock generator to the system bus and PCI bus. Use the and keys to adjust the CPU Bus frequency. You can also key in the desired frequency using the numeric keypad. The values range from 100MHz to 550MHz. PCIE Frequency [XXX] This item appears only when you set the CPU OverClocking item to [Manual] and allows you to set the PCI Express frequency. Use the and keys to adjust the PCIE frequency. You can also key in the desired value using the numeric keypad. The values range from 100MHz to 150MHz. DRAM O.C. Profile [DDR3-1600MHz] This item appears only when you set the CPU OverClocking item to [D.O.C.P.] and allows you to select a DRAM O.C. profile, which applies different settings to DRAM frequency, DRAM timing and DRAM voltage. Configuration options: [DDR3-1600MHz] [DDR3-1800MHz] [DDR3-1866MHz] [DDR3-2000MHz] Chapter 3 3-16 Chapter 3: BIOS setup

you install on the motherboard.

CPU/HT Reference Clcok (MHz) [XXX]

This item appears only when you set the

CPU OverClocking

item to [Manual] or [D.O.C.P]

and displays the frequency sent by the clock generator to the system bus and PCI bus. Use

the <+> and <-> keys to adjust the CPU Bus frequency. You can also key in the desired

frequency using the numeric keypad. The values range from 100MHz to 550MHz.

PCIE Frequency [XXX]

This item appears only when you set the

CPU OverClocking

item to [Manual] and allows you

to set the PCI Express frequency. Use the <+> and <-> keys to adjust the PCIE frequency.

You can also key in the desired value using the numeric keypad. The values range from

100MHz to 150MHz.

DRAM O.C. Proﬁle [DDR3-1600MHz]

This item appears only when you set the

CPU OverClocking

item to [D.O.C.P.] and allows

you to select a DRAM O.C. proﬁle, which applies different settings to DRAM frequency,

DRAM timing and DRAM voltage. Conﬁguration options: [DDR3-1600MHz] [DDR3-1800MHz]

[DDR3-1866MHz] [DDR3-2000MHz]

CPU OverClocking [Auto]

Allows you to select the CPU overclocking options to achieve the desired CPU internal

frequency. Select any of these preset overclocking conﬁguration options:

Manual

Allows you to individually set overclocking parameters.

Auto

Loads the optimal settings for the system.

D.O.C.P

Allows you to select a DRAM O.C. proﬁle, and the related parameters

will be adjusted automatically.

Overclock Proﬁle

Allows you to select an overclocking proﬁle.

3.5.1

CPU Level UP [Auto]

Allows you to select a CPU level, and the related parameters will be automatically adjusted

according to the selected CPU level. If you want to manually conﬁgure the settings in detail,

set
