CPU Clock Drve/ PCI Express Clock Drve

These tems are used to select the CPU/ PCI Express clock ampltude.

▶

CPU CLK Skew/ MCH CLK Skew

These tems are used to select the CPU/ North Brdge chpset clock skew. They can

help CPU to reach the hgher overclockng performace.

Adjust PCI Frequency (MHz)

Ths 󰘰eld allows you to select the PCI frequency (n MHz).

▶

Adjust PCI-E Frequency (MHz)

Ths 󰘰eld allows you to select the PCIE frequency (n MHz).

▶

Auto Dsable DRAM/PCI Frequency

When set to [Enabled], the system wll remove (turn o󰘯) clocks from empty DIMM and

PCI slots to mnmze the electromagnetc nterference (EMI).

Voltage (V)

These tems are used to asjust the voltage of CPU, Memory, QPI and chpset.

For CPU Voltage:

The value here s the o󰘯set for you to adjust/add based on the current CPU voltage.

Please read the real-tme CPU voltage n “CPU Vcore” n the “H/W montor” page. Please

note the based CPU Voltage wll vary dependng on the d󰘯erent CPU you nstall.

For QPI Voltage:

The value here s the o󰘯set for you to adjust/add based on the current QPI voltage. The

default based QPI Voltage s from 1.1V to 1.22V, and t wll vary dependng on the d󰘯er

ent CPU you nstall. You can read the QPI voltage n GreenPower Center.

For DRAM Voltage:

Accordng to the Intel CPU spec, DRAM Voltage settng 1.65V may damage the CPU
