AOpen MX3S Easy Installation Manual Download Page 3

Warning:

 INTEL i815E/i815EP chipset supports 

maximum 133MHz FSB and 66MHz AGP clock, 
higher clock setting may cause serious system 
damage.

 

Tip:

 If your system hangs or fails to boot 

because of overclocking, simply use JP14 to 
clear CMOS and restore to the default setting .

 

 

CPU Ratio 

2x, 2.5x, 3x, 3.5x, 4x, 4.5x, 5x, 5.5x, 6x, 6.5x, 7x, 7.5x, and 8x 

CPU FSB (By BIOS table) 

66.8, 68.5, 75, 83.3, 100, 103, 112, 117, 124, 129, 133.3, 138, 143, 148, 150MHz. 

CPU FSB (By manual 
Adjustment) 

66~166MHz by 1MHz stepping adjustment technology 

Installing CPU and Fan 

Plug CPU to Socket370. Be careful of CPU orientation. 
Plug in the fan cable to the 3-pin 

CPUFAN

 or 

FAN 1

   

connector.

 

Note: 

Some CPU fans do not 

have sensor pin, so that cannot 
support fan monitoring.

 

Auto-Detect CPU Core Voltage

This motherboard supports Celeron / Pentium III CPU VID function. The CPU   
core voltage will be automatically detected and the range is from 1.3V to 3.5V. 

 
Setting CPU Frequency

 

The CPU frequency selection is set by going into: 

BIOS Setup > Frequency / Voltage Control > CPU Speed Setup 

 

 

 

 

Core Frequency = CPU FSB Clock * CPU Ratio

JP23/JP29 FSB/PCI Clock Ratio 

This jumper is used to specify the relationship of PCI and 
host clock. Generally speaking, we suggest you do not 
change the default setting. But for overclocking, changing 
these jumper settings becomes necessary. For example, 
you must set JP29 to “5-6” and JP23 to “3-4” if you want to 
overclock a 66MHz FSB clock CPU to 100MHz or higher.
