• Easy mode allows you to adjust the CPU FSB only.
• Advanced mode allows you to individually change system clock settings and voltages settings
using the sliders.
• Easy Boost is an easy-to-use auto-overclocking function
(Note 1)
. When activated, the system
automatically experiments all sorts of overclocking configurations till it hangs. After restart, the
system will operate with the optimum configurations tested to let the CPU reach the best
overclocking performance.

changed linearly based on the CPU temperature thresholds you set.
The HW Monitor tab allows you to monitor hardware temperature, voltage and fan speed and set
temperature/fan speed alarm. You can choose the alert sound from the buzzer or use your own sound
file (.wav file).
