AI Overclocking This feature allows convenient overclocking up to 30% (depending on the installed CPU and DRAM) to enhance system performance while still maintaining system stability. See page 2-16 to set the BIOS items for overclocking. Extreme Overclocking The P4P800S offers robust overclocking options to maximize your system performance. Overclocking features include: a flexible CPU core voltage adjustment in 0.025V increments over defaults, the SFS (Stepless Frequency Selection) feature, an adjustable FSB/DDR ratio with a fixed AGP/PCI frequency and the ASUS C.P.R.
