Chapter 1

Slow Mode Switch (SLOW_MODE)

Slow Mode Switch is employed during LN2 benching. The system may crash due to

the CPU being unstable when using extreme overclocking, enabling slow mode will

decrease the processor frequency and stabilize the system, allowing overclockers to

keep track of their overclocking data.
