4-8 Frequency/Voltage Control

Cyrix III Clock Ratio

:  This item is for Cyrix III CPU ratio adjustment.

Auto Detect DIMM/PCI Clk

:  When enabled the motherboard will automatically

disable the clock source for a DIMM socket which does not have a module in it.
Same applies for PCI slots.  The default is Enabled.

CPU Host/PCI Clock :  

The mainboard is designed to set the CPU Host/PCI

clock via BIOS.  This item allows you to select the CPU Host and PCI clock
speed by “Enter” key.  The CPU Host speed  is auto detected.

Note: Overclocking failure will cause system No display problem.  At this

moment, please press “

Insert

” key to back to the initial or default

setting to boot up your system.
