CPU overvoltage setting (3-pin OV_CPU)
This jumper allows you to enable or disable the advanced CPU overvoltage setting in

BIOS. Read the following information before you change the jumper setting. Set to pins

1-2 to activate the advanced CPU overvoltage feature.

OV_CPU

Pins 2-3 (Default)

0.80V – 1.55V

Pins 1-2 (OV Enabled)

up to 1.85V

Before you change the jumper setting for extra-high overvoltage ability, use the BIOS

items introduced in 3.5 Ai Tweaker menu first to adjust the desired CPU performance.

Ensure that your system functions well under the highest BIOS voltage setting before

you change the setting of this jumper.

Refer to 3.5 Ai Tweaker menu for more information about the CPU overvoltage

setting.

DO NOT set the OV_CPU jumper to pins 1-2 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 jumper, shut down the computer and move

the cap back to pins 2-3.

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

to work stably under high voltage settings.
