performance.
BCLK Frequency [XXX]
This item appears when you set the AI Overclock Tuner item to [Manual], [D.O.C.P.] or
[X.M.P.] and allows you to adjust the Internal Base Clock (BCLK). Use the <+> and <-> keys
to adjust the value. You can also type the desired value using the numeric keypad. The
values range from 80 to 500.
PCIE Frequency [XXX]

Conguration options when set the AI Overclock Tuner item to [Auto] or [X.M.P.]:
[Auto] [DDR3-800MHz] [DDR3-1066MHz] [DDR3-1333MHz] [DDR3-1600]
Conguration options when set the AI Overclock Tuner item to [D.O.C.P]:
[Auto] [DDR3-900MHz] [DDR3-1200MHz] [DDR3-1500MHz] [DDR3-1800]
• The DRAM Frequency conguration options vary with the BCLK Frequency item
settings.
• According to Intel CPU spec, CPUs with a core frequency of 2.66G support the
maximum DIMM frequency of up to DDR3 1333. To use DIMMs of a higher frequency
with a 2.66G CPU, enable the DRAM O.C. Prole feature in BIOS. Refer to section
2.4.2 Ai Overclock Tuner for details.
Selecting a very high DRAM frequency may cause the system to become unstable! If this
happens, revert to the default setting.
2.4.8 QPI Frequency [Auto]
