4.3.7 ASUS TurboV
ASUS TurboV allows you to overclock the CPU frequency, CPU voltage, QPI/
Memory controller voltage, and DRAM voltage in WIndows ® environment and takes
effect in real-time 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 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.
• For system stability, set ASUS EPU to High Performance Mode while
using ASUS TurboV.

Overclocking tips:
• For advanced overclockability, adjust first the Extreme Tweaker items in
BIOS, and then proceed more detailed adjustments using TurboV.
• The CPU Frequency setting in BIOS affects the adjustable range of CPU
Frequency in TurboV.
For advanced overclocking: Set CPU Frequency in BIOS to 200MHz or
above for an adjustment range from 200MHz to 500MHz in TurboV.
For general overclocking: Set CPU Frequency in BIOS below 200MHz for
an adjustment range from 100MHz to 250MHz in TurboV.
