Sets the DRAM frequency. Please note the overclocking behavior is not guaranteed.

▶ Memory Try It ! [Disabled]

It can improve memory compatibility or performance by choosing optimized memory preset.

▶ Memory Failure Retry

[Enabled] Allows system attempt reboot. If failed in the end, system will boot up with default settings safely.

[Disabled] System would not boot up due OC fail, it requires clear CMOS to restore system default settings.

▶ Advanced DRAM Configuration (optional)

Press Enter to enter the sub-menu. User can set the memory timing for each/ all memory channel. The system may become unstable or unbootable after changing memory timing. If it occurs, please clear the CMOS data and restore the default settings. (Refer to the Clear CMOS jumper/ button (optional) section to clear the CMOS data, and enter the BIOS to load the default settings.)

▶ DigitALL Power

Press Enter to enter the sub-menu. Controls the digital powers related to CPU PWM.

▶ CPU Voltages control [Auto]

These options allows you to set the voltages related to CPU. If set to Auto, BIOS will set these voltages automatically or you can set it manually.

▶ DRAM Voltages control [Auto]

These options allows you to set the voltages related to memory. If set to Auto, BIOS will set these voltages automatically or you can set it manually.

▶ Memory Changed Detect [Enabled]\*

Enables or disables the system to issue a warning message during boot when the memory has been replaced.

[Enabled] The system will issue a warning message during boot and then you have to load the default settings for new devices.

[Disabled] Disables this function and keeps the current BIOS settings.

▶ CPU Specifications

Press Enter to enter the sub-menu. This sub-menu displays the information of installed CPU. You can also access this information menu at any time by pressing [F4]. Read only.

▶ CPU Technology Support

Press Enter to enter the sub-menu. The sub-menu shows the key features of installed CPU. Read only.

▶ MEMORY-Z

Press Enter to enter the sub-menu. This sub-menu displays all the settings and timings of installed memory. You can also access this information menu at any time by pressing [F5].

DIMMx Memory SPD

Press Enter to enter the sub-menu. The sub-menu displays the information of installed memory. Read only.

▶ CPU Features

Press Enter to enter the sub-menu.

▶ Simultaneous Multi-Threading [Enabled] (optional)

Enables/disables the AMD Simultaneous Multi-Threading. This item appears when the installed CPU supports this technology.

▶ Global C-state Control [Enabled] (optional)

Enables/disables IO based C-state generation and DF C-states.

▶ Opcache Control [Auto] (optional)

Enables/ disables Opcache. Opcache stores recently decode instruction to save the decoding time when the instruction is repeated. And ist may increase the CPU performance and reduce the power consumption slightly.

▶ IOMMU Mode (optional)

Enables/disables the IOMMU (I/O Memory Management Unit) for I/O Virtualization.

▶ Spread Spectrum (optional)

This function reduces the EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) generated by modulating clock generator pulses.

[Enabled] Enables the spread spectrum function to reduce the EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) problem.

[Disabled] Enhances the overclocking ability of CPU Base clock.

If you do not have any EMI problem, leave the setting at [Disabled] for optimal system stability and performance. But if you are plagued by EMI, select the value of Spread Spectrum for EMI reduction.

The greater the Spread Spectrum value is, the greater the EMI is reduced, and the system will become less stable. For the most suitable Spread Spectrum value, please consult your local EMI regulation.

Remember to disable Spread Spectrum if you are overclocking because even a slight jitter can introduce a temporary boost in clock speed which may just cause your overclocked processor to lock up.

AMD Cool'n'Quiet [Enabled]

The Cool'n'Quiet technology can effectively and dynamically lower CPU speed and power consumption.

▶ SVM Mode [Disabled]

Enables/ disables the AMD SVM (Secure Virtual Machine) Mode.

▶ Power Supply Idle Control [Auto] (optional)

It allows you to select the power-saving control mode for CPU when all cores are in a non-CO state. If set to Auto, BIOS will configure this settings.
