Note:
1. The reference value above is for Core i7 2600K D2 ver. Processor.
2. The condition is based on air cooling.
3. Increasing voltage may raise the success rate of overclocking as the risk of damage
the CPU; thus,we suggest use the special design CPU cooler set to prevent the CPU
from overheating.
4. Below voltage value would cause the damage of component while under air cooling.
• CPU Voltage:1.6V
• CPU I0 Voltage:1.5V
• DRAM Voltage:1.9V
We suggest disable some item in BIOS,such as Green Power Phase Contral and
OverSpeed Protection.

In addition to its adoption of military-level materials, the cutting-edge power
circuit design of the CPU/graphics card makes the BIG BANG XPower even
more outstanding. This new design consists of Dual CPU power connectors
and an external power connector for the graphics card. Under normal opera-
tion, it’s not a must to connect these power connectors. But for advanced
users and overclockers whose power supply comes with sufficient quantity
of power plugs, getting the extra power conduces to power efficiency and
stability.

onboard VGA power stabilizes the graphic
performance of high-end graphics cards.
Dual CPU Power Connectors
The “BIG BANG MARSHAL (B3)” also have the design allows for a
capacity of 20A (approximately 240W) for single CPU power connec-
tor and relatively 40A (approximately 480W) for dual CPU power
connectors. Apart from the advancement in power supply capacity,
the extra power connectors help to balance the heavy power load
drawn by CPU, which in return reduces the wear and tear of the
power supply.
