Recommendations
This mainboard automatically determines the CPU clock
frequency and system bus frequency for the kind of processor
that you install. You may be able to change these automatic
settings by changing the settings in the system Setup Utility. We
strongly recommend that you do not overclock the mainboard to
run processors or other components faster than their rated
speed.
Warning:
Overclocking components can adversely affect the
reliability of the system and introduce errors into your system.
Overclocking can permanently damage the mainboard by generating
excess heat in components that are run beyond the rated limits.
Components on this mainboard can be damaged by discharges
of static electricity. Handle the board carefully holding it by the
edges. Don’t flex or stress the circuit board. Keep the board in
its static-proof packing until you are ready to install it. Follow the
static guidelines given at the beginning of Chapter 2.
