Overclocking Jack (8-1 pin OCJ)
These jumpers support the overclocking features ReTry, Safe Boot and Slow Mode.
Short-circuit the corresponding pins with a metal object or jumper cap for about 5-10

seconds to use its function.

ReTry
ReTry is used during the booting process where the Reset button is rendered useless.

It forces the system to reboot while retaining the same settings to be retried in quick

succession to achieve a successful POST.

Safe Boot
Safe Boot is used to force the system to reboot into the BIOS safe mode. It temporarily

applies safe settings to the BIOS while retaining any overclocked settings allowing you

to modify the settings causing boot failure.

Slow Mode
Slow Mode is employed during LN2 benching. Some processors have a small optimum

temperature range to run at their highest frequency. Temperatures that fall outside this

band may yield instability. For example, a processor may need to operate at -80°C

under load and only 75°C when idle to maintain stability at 5GHz.
At lower frequencies, the CPU’s temperature tolerance increases. It will however

remain stable at lower frequencies at much colder or warmer temperatures. Once

it comes out of a heavy load while transitioning over to a light load, when the

temperature does not warm fast enough, it may crash. To overcome this, simply short

the 2-pins to decrease the processor frequency. Switching over to Slow-Mode during

critical moments when Temperature/Max Frequency alignment is off-sync can prevent

a lot of crashes, even when trying to boot into the OS at cold temperatures.
