The SoftMenu utility is ABIT’s exclusive and ultimate solution in programming the CPU operating speed.<br />
All the parameters regarding CPU FSB speed, multiplier factor, the AGP & PCI clock, and even the CPU<br />
core voltage are all available at your fingertips.<br />
Brand Name:<br />
This item displays the CPU model name.<br />
Frequency:<br />
This item displays the CPU internal clock speed.<br />
CPU Operating Speed:<br />
This item displays the CPU operating speed according to the type and speed of your CPU. You can also<br />
select the [User Define] option to enter the manual option.<br />
User Define:<br />
WARNING: The wrong settings of the multiplier and external clock in certain circumstances may cause<br />
CPU damage. Setting the working frequency higher than the PCI chipset or processor specs, may cause<br />
abnormal memory module functioning, system hangs, hard disk drive data lose, abnormal functioning of<br />
the VGA card, or abnormal functioning with other add-on cards. Using non-specification settings for your<br />
CPU is not the intention of this explanation. These should be used for engineering testing, not for normal<br />
applications.<br />
There will be no guaranty for the settings beyond specification, any damage of any <strong>com</strong>ponent on this<br />
motherboard or peripherals result therein is not our responsibility.<br />
� CPU FSB Clock(MHz):<br />
This item selects the external clock frequency. Due to the specification limit of the CPU you installed, the<br />
speed you set over its standard bus speed is supported, but not guaranteed.<br />
� Multiplier Factor:<br />
This item displays the multiplier factor for the CPU you installed.<br />
