Recommendations
This mainboard automatically determines the CPU clock
frequency and system bus frequency for the kind of processor
you install. You may be able to change these automatic settings
by making changes to the settings in the system Setup Utility.
We strongly recommend that you do not overclock the
mainboard to run processors or other components faster than
their rated speed.
Warning:
Overclocking components can adversely affect the
reliability of the system and introduce errors into your system.
Overclocking can permanently damage the mainboard by generating
excess heat in components that are run beyond the rated limits.
