The Ratio of some latest CPUs are fixed by Intel, such as Celeron 366, 400... etc. You can ignore the four
jumpers if you have this CPU on board and it will be auto detected by motherboard. Please check with the
CPU manufacturer or vendor for the CPU Ratio information.

*** The CPU CLK over specification operation is optional, please see session 3.4.15 for more information.
