An Overclocking System : A CPU FSB 800MHz system with a DDR2 667MHz memory installed, from the below table you can see, its Ratio number is set to 1:1.66 by the system. Now, we want to overclock it. Physical DRAM FOX Ratio CPU FSB 800MHz 1066MHz 1333MHz DDR2 667MHz 1:1 1:1.25 1:1.66 400MHz 533MHz 667MHz 500MHz 667MHz 833MHz 667MHz 888MHz 1110MHz DDR2 800MHz 1:1.2 1:1.5 1:2 480MHz 639MHz 800MHz 600MHz 800MHz 999MHz 800MHz 1066MHz 1333MHz 3 CAUTION Overclocking Example 1 : 1. Select [667 MHz] at DRAM Frequency setting. 2. Select [1:1.66] at FOX Ratio Select setting. Now, CPU FSB Type is displaying 800MHz, and Memory Target Frequency is displaying 667MHz. 3. At the setting of CPU FSB Over Clock Choice, input a new CPU FSB number, e.g., [1066 MHz]. You can read the display of Memory Target Frequency is [888MHz]. 4. Press [ESC] to exit Overclock Options page, then go to Main Menu, select "Save Changes and Exit", system will power down to change the settings and reboot again. 5. After new boot, your system will be running at 1066MHz CPU speed (physically 800MHz) together with an 888MHz memory speed (physically 667MHz). Overclocking Example 2 : 1. Select [667 MHz] at DRAM Frequency setting. 2. Select [1:1.25] at FOX Ratio Select setting. Now, CPU FSB Type is displaying 800MHz, and Memory Target Frequency is displaying 500MHz. We can say at this moment, the memory (physically 800MHz) is underclocked. 3. At CPU FSB Over Clock Choice setting, try increasing the CPU Speed by pressing [+], you can see each time when CPU Speed is increased, the Memory Target Frequency is also increased. Try increasing CPU Speed to [1066 MHz]. You can read Memory Target Frequency is [800MHz] now. This is an example telling that only CPU is overclocked, while memory is operating in its normal state. 4. Press [ESC] to exit Overclock Options page, then go to Main Menu, select "Save Changes and Exit", system will power down to change the settings and reboot again. ! All the changed settings of overclocking must be saved before exiting BIOS, then it will function. PC will hardware shut down with total power off, it does not like software shut down of which the power is still on. 26

An Overclocking System :
A CPU FSB 800MHz system with a DDR2 667MHz memory installed, from the below table you
can see, its Ratio number is set to 1:1.66 by the system. Now, we want to overclock it.
Overclocking Example 1 :
1. Select [667 MHz] at DRAM Frequency setting.
2. Select [1:1.66] at FOX Ratio Select setting.
Now, CPU FSB Type is displaying 800MHz, and Memory Target Frequency is displaying
667MHz.
3. At the setting of CPU FSB Over Clock Choice, input a new CPU FSB number, e.g., [1066
MHz].
You can read the display of Memory Target Frequency is [888MHz].
4. Press [ESC] to exit Overclock Options page, then go to Main Menu, select "Save Changes
and Exit", system will power down to change the settings and reboot again.
5. After new boot, your system will be running at 1066MHz CPU speed (physically 800MHz)
together with an 888MHz memory speed (physically 667MHz).
Overclocking Example 2 :
1. Select [667 MHz] at DRAM Frequency setting.
2. Select [1:1.25] at FOX Ratio Select setting.
Now, CPU FSB Type is displaying 800MHz, and Memory Target Frequency is displaying
500MHz. We can say at this moment, the memory (physically 800MHz) is underclocked.
3. At CPU FSB Over Clock Choice setting, try increasing the CPU Speed by pressing [+], you
can see each time when CPU Speed is increased, the Memory Target Frequency is also
increased. Try increasing CPU Speed to [1066 MHz].
You can read Memory Target Frequency is [800MHz] now. This is an example telling that
only CPU is overclocked, while memory is operating in its normal state.
4. Press [ESC] to exit Overclock Options page, then go to Main Menu, select "Save Changes
and Exit", system will power down to change the settings and reboot again.

All the changed settings of overclocking must be saved before exiting BIOS, then it
will function. PC will hardware shut down with total power off, it does not like software
shut down of which the power is still on.
