Overclock Options

Inside Intel chipset, there is a ratio number (we called it FOX Ratio here) which is defined as
the value of the memory clock divided by the CPU clock.
Normally, multiply CPU clock by 4, you can get the CPU Front Side BUS speed. While for
DDR2 memory, multiply memory clock by 2, you can get DDR2 memory speed.

In this section, we will explain how to overclock your memory or CPU.

The above table lists the Ratio numbers come with different combinations of CPUs and
memories.

A Normal, Non-overclocking System :

We set FOX Ratio to disabled, and DRAM Frequency to Auto.
In a CPU FSB 1333MHz system, if a DDR2 800MHz memory is installed, then FOX Ratio
number will be set to 1:1.2. Same CPU (FSB 1333MHz), if we install a DDR2 667MHz
memory, then FOX Ratio number will be set to 1:1.
