This motherboard supports Untied Overclocking Technology, which means during
overclocking, FSB enjoys better margin due to fixed PCI / PCIE buses. Before you
enable Untied Overclocking function, ple ase enter “Overclock Mode” option of BIOS setup
to set the selection from [Auto] to [CPU, PCIE, Async.]. Theref ore, 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.
