With this motherboard, AOpen provides a very special, useful feature 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
Timer” function immediately, and set the CPU FSB
frequency by user’s setting that 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 higher system performance, and without removing the cover of system housing to set the jumper to clear
CMOS data when your system hanged.
