BIOS and Overclocking

SuperSpeed provides FID, VID, vCore overvoltage, and vDIMM adjustments

Performance Options are scarce, with a 300MHz bus clock limit

Extensive CPU settings allow overclocking for increased performance or even underclocking for low-noise cooling. CPU Frequency multiplier ID (FID) can be adjusted downward as low as 4x in 1x intervals, and CPU core Voltage ID (VID) can be adjusted from 0.825v to 1.550v in 25mv increments. Memory voltage (VDIMM) can also be adjusted from 2.50v to 2.85v in 50mv increments. And if that's not enough, CPU overvoltage settings allow 20-140mv adjustments in 20mv increments.

One might notice the DIMM voltage range slightly too restrictive for today's fastest overclocking RAM, or the lack of additional settings for chipset voltage, but those unfortunately fall outside the intended market of this board. In fact, the previously mentioned settings exceed those of most competing Micro ATX motherboards.

A maximum 278MHz bus clock at 5x HT multiplier was confirmed stable using our benchmarking suite. The 300MHz BIOS limit was easily reached at 4x HT, but further adjustment is not possible with current versions of Clockgen, or even the included nTune utility.
