user-friendly interface, which currently includes Hardware Monitor, Fan
Control, Overclocking, OC DNA, Mouse Polling and IES. In the Hardware
Monitor mode, F-Stream shows the major readings of your system. In
Fan Control mode, F-Stream shows the fan speed and temperature for
you to adjust. In Overclocking Control mode, F-Stream allows you to
overclock the CPU frequency for optimal system performance. In OC
DNA mode, you can save your OC settings as a profi le and share them
with your friends. Your friends can then load the OC profi le in to their own
system to get the same OC settings. In Mouse Polling mode, F-Stream
allows you to adjust the mouse polling rate of the Fatal1ty Mouse port to
add a professional level mouse confi guration. In IES (Intelligent Energy
Saver) mode, the voltage regulator can reduce the number of output
phases to improve effi ciency when the CPU cores are idle without sacri-
fi cing computing performance.
