- Ignore the mainboard's vendor programmed fuses that might limit the
- maximum DRAM frequency. By selecting this option the fuses will be
- ignored and the only limits on DRAM frequency are set by RAM's SPD and
- hard fuses in southbridge's clockgen.
- Disabled by default as it might causes system instability.
+ Ignore the CAPID fuses and devicetree settings that might limit the

Handle with care!
