2.17 Untied Overclocking Technology

This motherboard supports Untied Overclocking Technology, which means during

overclocking, FSB enjoys better margin due to xed PCI / PCIE buses. Before you

enable Untied Overclocking function, please enter “Overclock Mode” option of UEFI

setup to set the selection from [Auto] to [Manual]. Therefore, CPU FSB is untied

during overclocking, but PCI / PCIE buses are in the xed mode so that FSB can

operate under a more stable overclocking environment.

Please refer to the warning on page 9 for the possible overclocking risk

before you apply Untied Overclocking Technology.
