power-on the system, the BIOS will check last system POST
enable “Watch Dog Timer” function immediately, and set the CPU FSB
that stored in the BIOS. If system failed in BIOS POST, the “Watch Dog Timer” will reset the
system to reboot in five seconds. Then, BIOS will detect the CPU’s default frequency and POST
gain. With this special feature, you can easily overclock your system to get higher system performance, and without removing
a
he cover of system housing to set the jumper to clear CMOS data when your system hanged.

This motherboard supports CPU VID function. The CPU core voltage will be automatically detected and the range is from 1.1V
to 1.925V. It is not necessary to set CPU Core Voltage.

Tip: If your system hangs or fails to boot because of
overclocking, simply use <Home> key to restore the
default setting or you can wait the AOpen “Watch Dog
