Jumpers

1.

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

settings in BIOS.

OV_CPU

OV_DRAM

Pins 1-2 (Default)

0.8V - 1.92V

1.2V - 1.92V

Pins 2-3 (OV Enabled)

0.8V - 2.3V

1.2V - 2.3V

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

BIOS items first to adjust the desired CPU and DRAM performance. Ensure that your

system functions well under the highest BIOS voltage settings before you change the

settings.

DO NOT set the OV_CPU/DRAM jumper to pins 2-3 when you install a new CPU and

have not booted for the first time. Doing so may halt the system. For system failure

due to wrong setting of the OV_CPU/DRAM jumper, shut down your computer and

insert the jumper cap back to pins 1-2.

According to Intel CPU specifications, DIMMs with voltage requirement over 1.65V

may damage the CPU permanently. We recommend you ro install the DIMMs with the

voltage requirement below 1.65V.

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

to work efficiently under high voltage settings.
