Current CPU/ FSB/ DRAM Frequency These items show the current clocks of CPU and Memory speed. (Dynamic Overclocking Technology) is the automatic overclocking function, included in the MSITM 's newly developed CoreCell TM Technology. It is designed to detect the load balance of CPU while running programs, and to adjust the best CPU frequency automatically. W hen the motherboard detects CPU is running programs, it will speed up CPU automatically to make the program run smoothly and faster. W hen the CPU is temporarily suspending or staying in the low load balance, it will restore the default settings instead. Usually the Dynamic Overclocking Technology will be powered only when users' PC need to run huge amount of data like 3D games or the video process, and the CPU frequency need to be boosted up to enhance the overall performance. Settings are: 3-19 M S-7523 M ainboard [Disabled] [Private] [Sergeant] [Captain] [Colonel] [General] [Commander] Disable Dynamic Overclocking. 1st level of overclocking, increasing the frequency by 1%. 2nd level of overclocking, increasing the frequency by 3%. 3rd level of overclocking, increasing the frequency by 5%. 4th level of overclocking, increasing the frequency by 7%. 5th level of overclocking, increasing the frequency by 10%. 6th level of overclocking, increasing the frequency by 15%. Important Even though the Dynamic Overclocking Technology is more stable than manual overclocking, basically, it is still risky. We suggest user to make sure that your CPU can afford to overclocking regularly first. If you find the PC appears to be unstable or reboot incidentally, it's better to disable the Dynamic Overclocking or to lower the level of overclocking options. By the way, if you need to conduct overclocking manually, you also need to disable the Dynamic OverClocking first.

This field will appear after you installed the CPU which support speedstep technology. System Clock Mode This item is used to switch the following two items.
