As a leading manufacturer in motherboard industry, AOpen always listens to what customers want and develop products to fit
different user's requirements. Reliability, compatibility, leading technology and friendly features are our basic goals when
designing motherboards. Other than above mentioned design criteria, there are power users who are always seeking to push
the limitation of the system performance by overclocking which we call them "Overclocker".
This section is dedicated to overclockers.
This high performance motherboard is designed for maximum
100MHz
(System bus = 400MHz) CPU bus clock. But it comes
with clock generator of
180MHz
when we design it to accommodate future CPU bus clock. Our lab test results shown that
115MHz
is achievable when proper setting and qualified components were presented, we feel quite comfortable overclocking to
115MHz
. Not only that, this motherboard has full-range (CPU core voltage) settings. For your reference, the configuration that
we feel comfortable is at
115MHz
bus clock.
Warning:
The design of this product follows CPU and chipset vendor's
design guideline. Any attempts to push beyond product specification are
not recommended and you are taking your own risk to damage your
system or important data. Before doing overclocking, you must make sure
your components are able to tolerate such abnormal setting, especially
CPU, DRAMs, hard disks, and AGP VGA cards.
But not guaranty.

Tip:
Note that overclocking may also
cause thermal problem. Please make
sure that the cooling fan and the
heatsink were adequate to dissipate
excessive heat that's generated by
overclocking the CPU.
