2. CPU / IMC / DRAM overvoltage setting switches (OV_DRAM, OV_IMC,

OV_CPU)
These switches allow you to enable or disable the advanced CPU, Integrated

Memory Controller (IMC), and DRAM overvoltage settings in BIOS. Read the

following information before you change the switch settings.

• Before you change the switch settings for extra-high overvoltage ability, use

the BIOS items first to adjust the desired CPU, IMC, and DRAM performance.

Ensure your system functions well under the highest BIOS voltage settings

before you change the setting of these three switches.

• DO NOT enable the OV_CPU switch when you install a new CPU and have

not booted for the first time. Doing so may cause the system to halt. For

system failure due to the wrong setting of the OV_CPU switch, shut down

the computer and set the switch back to its default position.

• According to Intel CPU spec, DIMMs voltage below 1.65V is recommended

to protect the CPU.

• The system may need a better cooling system (for example, a water-cooling

system) to work stably under high voltage settings.
