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
533MHz
CPU bus clock. But it comes with clock generator of
992MHz (248MHz x 4)
when we design it to accommodate with future CPU bus clock. Not only that, the CPU clock ratio can be
up to 24x that supports almost all of Pentium
®
4 CPUs in the future and provides flexibility for overclockers.
But not guarantee.

Warning:
This product follows CPU and chipset vendor's design guideline.
Any attempt to push beyond product specification is not recommended and
you have to take your own risk of damaging 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.
Tip:
Note that overclocking
may also cause thermal
problem. Please make sure
the cooling fan and the
heatsink are capable of
dissipating excessive heat
that is generated by
overclocking the CPU.
