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, please enter “Overclock Mode” option of

BIOS setup to set the selection from [Auto] to [Manual]. 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.
