1.3.4 ASUS Intelligent Overclocking features AI Booster The ASUS AI Booster allows you to overclock the CPU speed in Windows® environment without the hassle of booting the BIOS. Precision Tweaker This feature allows you to fine-tune the CPU/memory voltage and gradually increase the memory, FSB, and PCI Express frequency at 1MHz increment to achieve maximum system performance. See page 2-12 to 2-17 for details. CPU Parameter Recall (C.P.R.) The C.P.R. feature of the motherboard BIOS allows automatic re-setting to the BIOS default settings in case the system hangs due to overclocking failure. When the system hangs due to overclocking failure, C.P.R. eliminates the need to open the system chassis and clear the RTC data. Simply shut down and reboot the system, and the BIOS automatically restores the CPU default settings for each parameter. 1.4 Before you proceed Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components or change any motherboard settings. • Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any component. • Use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object or a metal object, such as the power supply case, before handling components to avoid damaging them due to static electricity. • Hold components by the edges to avoid touching the ICs on them. • Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded antistatic pad or in the bag that came with the component. • Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the ATX power supply is switched off or the power cord is detached from the power supply. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the motherboard, peripherals, and/or components. Onboard LED The motherboard comes with a standby power LED that lights up to indicate that the system is ON, in sleep mode, or in soft-off mode. This is a reminder that you must shut down the system and unplug the power cable before removing or plugging in any motherboard component.

ASUS Intelligent Overclocking features
AI Booster
The ASUS AI Booster allows you to overclock the CPU speed in Windows
®
environment
without the hassle of booting the BIOS.
Precision Tweaker
This feature allows you to fine-tune the CPU/memory voltage and gradually increase the
memory, FSB, and PCI Express frequency at 1MHz increment to achieve maximum system
performance. See page 2-12 to 2-17 for details.
CPU Parameter Recall (C.P.R.)
The C.P.R. feature of the motherboard BIOS allows automatic re-setting to the BIOS default
settings in case the system hangs due to overclocking failure. When the system hangs due
to overclocking failure, C.P.R. eliminates the need to open the system chassis and clear the
RTC data. Simply shut down and reboot the system, and the BIOS automatically restores the
CPU default settings for each parameter.

Before you proceed
Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components or change
any motherboard settings.
•
Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any component.
•
Use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object or a metal object, such
as the power supply case, before handling components to avoid damaging them due to
static electricity.
•
Hold components by the edges to avoid touching the ICs on them.
•
Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded antistatic pad or in the
bag that came with the component.
•
Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the ATX power supply is
switched off or the power cord is detached from the power supply. Failure to do so may
cause severe damage to the motherboard, peripherals, and/or components.
Onboard LED
The motherboard comes with a standby power LED that lights up to indicate that the
system is ON, in sleep mode, or in soft-off mode. This is a reminder that you must
shut down the system and unplug the power cable before removing or plugging in any
motherboard component. The illustration below shows the location of the onboard LED.
