As a leading manufacturer in motherboard industry, AOpen always listens to what customers want and develop products to fit
different user's requirements. Reliability, compatibility, leading technology and friendly features are our basic goals when
designing motherboards. Other than above mentioned design criteria, there are power users who are always seeking to push
the limitation of the system performance by overclocking which we call them "Overclocker".
different user's requirements. Reliability, compatibility, leading technology and friendly features are our basic goals when
designing motherboards. Other than above mentioned design criteria, there are power users who are always seeking to push
the limitation of the system performance by overclocking which we call them "Overclocker".
This section is dedicated to overclockers.
Our lab test results shown that 166MHz is achievable when proper setting and qualified components were presented, we feel
quite comfortable overclocking to 166MHz. Not only that, this motherboard has full-range (CPU core voltage) settings and an
option to adjust CPU core voltage. The CPU clock ratio can be up to 8x that supports almost all of AMD Athlon/Duron CPUs in
the future and provides flexibility for overclockers. For your reference, the following configurations are what we feel comfortable
at 166MHz bus clock.

Warning: The design of this product follows CPU and chipset vendor's
design guideline. Any attempts to push beyond product specification
are not recommended and you are taking your own risk to damage
your system or important data. Before doing overclocking, you must
make sure your components are able to tolerate such abnormal
setting, especially CPU, DRAMs, hard disks, and AGP VGA cards.
Tip: Note that overclocking may also
cause thermal problem. Please make
sure that the cooling fan and the
heatsink were adequate to dissipate
excessive heat that's generated by
overclocking the CPU.
