Using ASUS TurboV
ASUS TurboV allow you to overclock the BCLK frequency, CPU voltage, IMC
voltage, and DRAM Bus voltage in WIndows® environment and takes effect in realtime without exiting and rebooting the OS.
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.
