This motherboard supports Untied Overclocking Technology, which means during
overclocking, FSB enjoys better margin due to fixed PCI / PCIE buses. You may set
“CPU Host Frequency” option of BIOS setup to [Auto], which will show you the actual
CPU host frequency in the following item. Therefore, CPU FSB is untied during
overclocking, but PCI / PCIE buses are in the fixed mode so that FSB can operate
under a more stable overclocking environment.
Please refer to the warning on page 6 for the possible overclocking risk before
you apply Untied Overclocking Technology.
