Recommendations
This mainboard automatically determines the CPU clock fre-
quency and system bus frequency for the kind of processor that
you install. You may be able to change these automatic settings
by making changes to jumpers on the mainboard, or 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 reliabil-
ity 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.
