Advance DRAM Configuraton
Press  to enter the sub-menu and the followng screen appears.▶
1N/2N Memory Tmng
Ths  tem  controls  the  SDRAM  command  rate.  Select  [1N]  makes  SDRAM  sgnal 
controller  to  run  at  1N  (N=clock  cycles)  rate.  Selectng  [2N]  makes  SDRAM  sgnal 
controller run at 2N rate.
CAS# Latency (CL)
Ths controls the CAS latency, whch determnes the tmng delay (n clock cycles)
before SDRAM starts a read command after recevng t.
tRCD
When  DRAM  s  refreshed,  both  rows  and  columns  are  addressed  separately.  Ths 
setup  tem  allows  you  to  determne  the  tmng  of  the  transton  from  RAS  (row  ad
-dress strobe) to CAS (column address strobe). The less the clock cycles, the faster the DRAM performance.
tRP
Ths  settng  controls  the  number  of  cycles  for  Row  Address  Strobe  (RAS)  to  be 
allowed  to  precharge.  If  nsufficent  tme s  allowed  for  the  RAS  to  accumulate  ts 
charge  before  DRAM  refresh,  refresh  may  be  ncomplete  and  DRAM  may  fal  to 
retan data. Ths  tem apples only when synchronous DRAM  s nstalled  n the sys
-tem.
tRAS
Ths settng determnes the tme RAS takes to read from and wrte to memory cell.
Advanced Memory Settng
Settng  to  [Auto]  enables  DRAM  tmngs  automatcally  to  be  determned  by  BIOS 
based on the configuratons on the SPD (Seral Presence Detect) EEPROM on the 
DRAM module.
Extreme Memory Profile
Ths  tem s used to enable/dsable the Intel Extreme Memory Profile (XMP). For further 
nformaton please refer to Intel’s offical webste.
Memory Rato
Ths tem allows you to set the memory multpler.
Adjusted DRAM Frequency (MHz)
It shows the adjusted Memory frequency. Read-only.

CPU Clock Drve/ PCI Express Clock Drve
These tems are used to select the CPU/ PCI Express clock ampltude.
CPU CLK Skew/ MCH CLK Skew
These  tems are used to select the CPU/ North Brdge chpset clock skew. They can 
help CPU to reach the hgher overclockng performace.
Adjust PCI Frequency (MHz)
Ths field allows you to select the PCI frequency (n MHz).
Adjust PCI-E Frequency (MHz)
Ths field allows you to select the PCIE frequency (n MHz). 
Auto Dsable DRAM/PCI Frequency
When set to [Enabled], the system wll remove (turn off) clocks from empty DIMM and 
PCI slots to mnmze the electromagnetc nterference (EMI).
  CPU  Voltage  (V)/  CPU  Vcore/  CPU  PLL  Voltage  (V)/  QPI  Voltate  (V))/  DRAM  Volt-age (V)/ DDR_VREF_CA_A (V)/ DDR_VREF_CA_B (V)/ DDR_VREF_CA_C (V)/ DDR_VREF_DQ_A (V)/DDR_VREF_DQ_B (V), DDR_VREF_DQ_C (V)/ NB Voltage (V)/ ICH Voltage (V)
These tems are used to asjust the voltage of CPU, Memory, QPI and chpset.
For CPU Voltage:
The  value  here  s  the  offset  for  you  to  adjust/add  based  on  the  current  CPU  voltage. 
Please read the real-tme CPU voltage  n “CPU Vcore” n the “H/W montor” page. Please 
note the based CPU Voltage wll vary dependng on the dfferent CPU you nstall.
For QPI Voltage:
The value here  s the offset 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 wll vary dependng on the dffer
-
ent CPU you nstall. You can read the QPI voltage n GreenPower Center.
For DRAM Voltage:
Accordng  to  the  Inte  CPU  spec,  DRAM  Voltage  settng  1.65V  may  damage  the  CPU 
permanently. It  s strongly recommended that you  nstall the DRAM wth the voltage set
-
tng below 1.65V. You can read the DRAM voltage n GreenPower Center.
Spread Spectrum
When the manboard’s clock generator pulses, the extreme values (spkes) of the pulses 
create EMI (Electromagnetc Interference). The Spread Spectrum functon reduces the 
EMI generated by modulatng the pulses so that the spkes of the pulses are reduced to 
flatter curves. If you do not have any EMI problem, leave the settng at Dsabled for opt
-
mal system stablty and performance. But  f you are plagued by EMI, set to Enabled for 
EMI reducton. Remember to dsable Spread Spectrum  f you are overclockng because 
even a slght jtter can  ntroduce a temporary boost  n clock speed whch may just cause 
your overclocked processor to lock up.

Important
If you do not have any EMI problem, leave the settng at [Dsabled] for optmal system stablty and performance. But  f you are plagued by EMI, select the value of Spread 
Spectrum for EMI reducton. 
The  greater  the  Spread  Spectrum  value  s,  the  greater  the  EMI s  reduced,  and  the 
system wll become less stable. For the most sutable Spread Spectrum value, please  consult your local EMI regulaton.
Remember to dsable Spread Spectrum  f you are overclockng because even a slght 
jtter can  ntroduce a temporary boost  n clock speed whch may just cause your over
-clocked processor to lock up.

Important
Faled Overclockng Resoluton  Ths motherboard supports overclockng greatly. However, please make sure your pe
-
rpherals  and  components  are  bearable  for  some  specal  settngs.  Any  operaton  that  exceeds  product  specficaton  s  not  recommended.  Any  rsk  or  damge  resultng  from 
mproper operaton wll not be under our product warranty.
Two ways to save your system from faled overclockng...
Reboot
Press the Power button to reboot the system three tmes. Please note that, to avod electrc current to affect other devces or components, we suggest an  nterval of more 
than 10 seconds among the reboot actons.
At the fourth reboot, BIOS wll determne that the prevous overclockng  s faled and 
restore  the  default  settngs  automatcally.  Please  press  any  key  to  boot  the  system  normally when the followng message appears on screen.
Warnng !!! The prevous overclockng had faled, 
and system wll restore ts defaults settng, 
Press any key to contnue.......
