adjusting the setting in the BIOS, applying Untied Overclocking Technology, or using
the third-party overclocking tools. Overclocking may affect your system stability, or

some CPU, including quad-core CPU, can also increase L3 cache size up to
6MB, which means you can enjoy the upgrade CPU performance with a better
price. Please be noted that UCC feature is supported with AM3 CPU only, and
in addition, not every AM3 CPU can support this function because some
CPU’s hidden core may be malfunctioned.
