Current Hardware Settings

CPU

This option deals with CPU parameters and information. Here, the user has the
ability to dynamically change FSB speeds, CPU Voltages, and CPU fan speeds.
At all times, real-time values for CPU frequency and appropriate CPU multiplier
are reported.

CAUTION:

Increasing the voltage or the clock speed of a component may void its

warranty due to exceeding recommended specifications. NVIDIA and the board
manufacturer are not responsible for damage that may occur when component
tolerances are exceeded.
