1.2 Overclocking
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".
This section is dedicated to Overclockers.
This high performance AX6BC motherboard is designed for maximum 100MHz
CPU bus clock. But it comes with clock generator of 153MHz when we design it
to accommodate future CPU bus clock. Our lab test results shown that
133.3MHz is achievable when proper setting and quality components were
presented, we feel quite comfortable overclocking to 133.3MHz. Not only that,
AX6BC has full-range (CPU core voltage) settings and up to 8x CPU ratio, that
supports almost all of Pentium II CPUs in the future and provides flexibility for
overclockers. For your reference, the following configurations are what we feel
comfortable at 112 MHz bus clock. But not guaranty.J
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.
Warning: 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.
VGA and HDD are key components for overclocking, for your reference, the
following list are what have been successful overclocked in our lab. Please note
that AOpen can not guaranty they can be successful overclocked again.
