ABS - Auto Boost System

14. Click Yes to reboot.

Important:

1. We strongly recommend that you backup the default setting. If in any

case your overclock setting causes system instability, you can always
retrieve the default setting by reloading the backup file.

2. Everytime you change the BIOS settings, remember to always backup

the file because the previous backup file will not match the new BIOS
settings therefore it will not work.
