Please realize that there is a certain risk involved with overclocking, including adjusting

the setting in the BIOS, applying Untied Overclocking Technology, or using third-party

overclocking tools. Overclocking may aect your system’s stability, or even cause damage to

the components and devices of your system. It should be done at your own risk and expense.

We are not responsible for possible damage caused by overclocking.

* For detailed product information, please visit our website: http://www.asrock.com

Due to limitation, the actual memory size may be less than 4GB for the reservation for sys-

tem usage under Windows® 32-bit operating systems. Windows® 64-bit operating systems

do not have such limitations. You can use ASRock XFast RAM to utilize the memory that

Windows® cannot use.

CPU Conguration

CPU Ratio

e CPU speed is determined by the CPU Ratio multiplied with the BCLK.

Increasing the CPU Ratio will increase the internal CPU clock speed without

aecting the clock speed of other components.

CPU Cache Ratio

e CPU Internal Bus Speed Ratio. e maximum should be the same as the CPU

Ratio.

BCLK/PCIE Frequency

e CPU speed is determined by the CPU Ratio multiplied with the BCLK.

Increasing the BCLK will increase the internal CPU clock speed but also aect the

clock speed of other components.

Spread Spectrum

Enable Spread Spectrum to reduce electromagnetic interference for passing EMI

tests. Disable to achieve higher clock speeds when overclocking.

Intel SpeedStep Technology

Intel SpeedStep technology allows processors to switch between multiple frequen-

cies and voltage points for better power saving and heat dissipation.

Intel Turbo Boost Technology

Intel Turbo Boost Technology enables the processor to run above its base operating

frequency when the operating system requests the highest performance state.

Filter PLL Frequency

CPU BCLK Filter Frequency. Choose 1.6 for better overclocking capabilities.

Long Duration Power Limit

Congure Package Power Limit 1 in watts. When the limit is exceeded, the CPU

ratio will be lowered aer a period of time. A lower limit can protect the CPU and

save power, while a higher limit may improve performance.

Long Duration Maintained

Congure the period of time until the CPU ratio is lowered when the Long

Duration Power Limit is exceeded.

English

Command Rate (CR)

e delay between when a memory chip is selected and when the rst active command can

be issued.

Write Recovery Time (tWR)

e amount of delay that must elapse aer the completion of a valid write operation,

before an active bank can be precharged.

Refresh Cycle Time (tRFC)

e number of clocks from a Refresh command until the rst Activate command to

the same rank.

RAS to RAS Delay (tRRD)

e number of clocks between two rows activated in dierent banks of the same

rank.

Write to Read Delay (tWTR)

e number of clocks between the last valid write operation and the next read

command to the same internal bank.
