| Overclocking |
ASUS M2A-VM provides some overclocking options, but no memory timings settings. Here are the options you will find on ASUS M2A-VM (0201 BIOS):
- Base clock (HTT clock): From 200 MHz to 400 MHz in 1 MHz steps.
- CPU voltage: Auto or from 0.800 V to 1.550 V in 0.025 V increments.
- CPU voltage (2nd option): Auto or 100 mV.
- Chipset voltage (”+1.2VNBSB“): Auto or from 1.2 V to 1.5 V in 0.1 V increments.
- Memory voltage: Auto or from 1.8 V to 2.1 V in 0.1 V increments.
- CPU multiplier.

On this motherboard we could increase the CPU base clock from 200 MHz to 214 MHz, making our Athlon 64 X2 5000+ to run at 2,782 MHz, a 7% increase over its original clock of 2.6 GHz. With this overclocking Quake 3 performance increased 4.7%. With ECS GeForce6100SM-M we could configure the CPU base clock at 216 MHz and with ECS RS485M-M we could set it to 218 MHz.
We didn’t play with the voltage configurations, so with time and patience you may achieve a better overclocking with this motherboard.
