Brand Name
This item displays the CPU model name installed on this motherboard.

This item displays the current CPU frequency.
CPU Operating Speed
This item displays the motherboard operating speed according to the following menu
combination. You can also select the [User Define] option to enter the manual option.
User Define:
※ 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 resulting therein is not our
responsibility.
- CPU External Clock(MHz)
This item selects the external clock frequency. Due to the specification limit of the CPU you
installed, the speed you set over its standard bus speed is supported, but not guaranteed.
- Multiplier Factor
This item
(appears only with AM2 CPU) displays the multiplier factor for the CPU you installed.
