This motherboard supports Untied Overclocking Technology, which means during
overclocking, FSB enjoys better margin due to fixed AGP / PCI / PCIE bus. You may
set “CPU Host Frequency” option of BIOS setup to [Auto], which will show you
the actual CPU host frequency in the following item. Therefore, CPU FSB is untied
during overclocking, but AGP / PCI / PCIE bus is in the fixed mode so that FSB can
operate under a more stable overclocking environment.
Please refer to the warning on page 7 for the possible overclocking risk before
you apply Untied Overclocking Technology.
