AOpen provides a special and useful feature on this motherboard for overclockers.
When you power-on the system, the BIOS will check last system
POST status. If it
succeeded, the BIOS will enable “Watch Dog ABS” function immediately, and set the
CPU FSB frequency according to user’s settings stored in the BIOS. If system failed in
BIOS POST, the “Watch Dog Timer” will reset the system to reboot in five seconds. Then, BIOS will detect the CPU’s default
frequency and POST again. With this special feature, you can easily overclock your system to get a higher system performance
without removing the system housing and save the hassle from setting the jumper to clear CMOS data when system hangs.
