Haven't heard what this does as of yet.

It defaults to 0 but you can change this to any number of times you want to the board to try and boot from a fail overclock. May be useful if it manages to post at all from a failed overclock as you may be able to enter bios and make changes without having to clear CMOS.
0 is disabled. Selecting any number of retries enables this for that amount of attempted boots at current settings. If not successful the board will revert to default settings the same as when the Home key is pressed at bootup. If memory timings are totally screwed the board most likely will not be able to recover even with this enabled.

Now the options are listed as follows. 133ps, 534ps etc. They look odd and I have no clue what they are but perhaps this is a way to fine tune clock delays even more?
The BIOS now allows the delays to be set in actual picoseconds instead of a numerical representation.

This is a great way to see exactly what it is doing per cycle as making changes will be reflected in the numbers above.
Displaying the current pull-in will give the user a known good starting point with which to modify the settings.
