M.I.T. Current Status, AMD Cool&Quiet function - overclock

Page 19 highlights

Whether the system will work stably with the overclock/overvoltage settings you made is dependent on your overall system configurations. Incorrectly doing overclock/overvoltage may result in damage to CPU, chipset, or memory and reduce the useful life of these components. This page is for advanced users only and we recommend you not to alter the default settings to prevent system instability or other unexpected results. (Inadequately altering the settings may result in system's failure to boot. If this occurs, clear the CMOS values and reset the board to default values.) `` M.I.T. Current Status This screen provides information on CPU/memory frequencies/parameters. `` Advanced Frequency Settings && CPU Clock Control Allows you to manually set the CPU base clock in 1 MHz increments. (Default: Auto) Important: It is highly recommended that the CPU frequency be set in accordance with the CPU specifications. && Processor Graphics Clock Allows you to set the onboard graphics clock. The adjustable range is from 300 MHz to 2000 MHz. && CPU NorthBridge Frequency Allows you to manually set the CPU North Bridge frequency.

(Default: Disabled) && SVM Mode Virtualization enhanced by Virtualization Technology will allow a platform to run multiple operating systems and applications in independent partitions. With virtualization, one computer system can function as multiple virtual systems. (Default: Enabled) && C6 Mode Allows you to determine whether to let the CPU enter C6 mode in system halt state. When enabled, the CPU core frequency will be reduced during system halt state to decrease power consumption. The C6 state is a more enhanced power-saving state than C1.
