WARNING:
The wrong settings of the multiplier and external clock in certain
circumstances may cause CPU damage. Setting the working frequency higher than the
PCI chipset or processor specs, may cause abnormal memory module functioning,
system hangs, hard disk drive data lose, abnormal functioning of the VGA card, or
abnormal functioning with other add-on cards. Using non-specification settings for
your CPU is not the intention of this explanation. These should be used for
engineering testing, not for normal applications.
There will be no guaranty for the settings beyond specification, any damage of any
component on this motherboard or peripherals result therein is not our responsibility.
Ext. Clock (CPU/AGP/PCI):
This item selects the external clock frequency.
Multiplier Factor:
This item selects the multiplier factors for your CPU if it is not locked.
Estimated new CPU clock:
This item displays the frequency sum up from the previous item [Ext. Clock] and
[Multiplier Factor].
N/B Strap CPU As:
This item sets the external hardware reset strap assigned to MCH (Memory Controller
Hub). The options are: [PSB400], [PSB533], [PSB800], and [By CPU]. The default
setting is
By CPU
.
To set this option manually:
•
Select [PSB400] for CPU of 100MHz FSB frequency.
•
Select [PSB533] for CPU of 133MHz FSB frequency.
•
Select [PSB800] for CPU of 200MHz FSB frequency.
DRAM Ratio (CPU:DRAM):
This item determines the frequency ratio between CPU and DRAM.
AGP Ratio (CPU:AGP:PCI):
This item determines the ratio among CPU, AGP, and PCI.
Fixed AGP/PCI Frequency:
This item determines the AGP/PCI bus frequency. This option allows you to keep
your AGP/PCI clock at some fixed frequency to improve system stability.
