4.4.1 Using ASUS TurboV
ASUS TurboV allow you to overclock the CPU frequency, CPU voltage, CPU/NB voltage,
DRAM voltage, and the integrated GPU voltage/frequency in Windows ® environment and
takes effect in real-time.
Refer to the CPU documentation before adjusting CPU voltage settings. Setting a high
voltage may damage the CPU permanently, and setting a low voltage may make the
system unstable.
For system stability, all changes made in ASUS TurboV (except for Auto Tuning) will not
be saved to BIOS settings and will not be kept on the next system boot. Use the Save
Profile function to save your customized overclocking settings and manually load the
profile after Windows starts.

motherboard support DVD.

detailed adjustments using TurboV.
