NOTE: In order to increase system stability and performance, our engineering staffs are constantly improving the BIOS menu. The BIOS setup screens and descriptions illustrated in this manual are for your reference only, may not completely match what you see on your screen. In the BIOS Setup main menu, you can see several options. We will explain these options step by step in the following pages of this chapter, but let us first see a short description of the function keys you may use here. Esc: Press this button to quit the BIOS Setup. ^v< >: Press these buttons to choose, in the main menu, the option you want to confirm or to modify. F10: When you have completed the setup of BIOS parameters, press this button to save these parameters and to exit the BIOS Setup menu. F6: You may create a profile to save the new BIOS settings in it. Press button in the main menu, a dialog box with five numbers (1~5) will appear on the screen. Select one number, and press . Then, you will get a confirmation dialog box with a message similar to: Save Profile To BIOS (Y/N)? After pressing “Y”, the following message will appear to assist you in creating a name for the profile. Enter Profile Name: Type the profile name, and press . The new BIOS settings now are saved to the selected profile. NOTE: You may save up to five profiles to BIOS. F7: Press button in the main menu, a dialog box with five numbers (1~5) will appear on the screen. Select the profile you want, and press . Then, you will get a confirmation dialog box with a message similar to: Load Profile From BIOS (Y/N)? Press “Y” to load the BIOS settings in this profile. 3-1. .Guru Utility Brand Name: This item displays the CPU model name, for example: AMD AthlonTM 64 processor 3200+. Frequency: This item displays the processor speed. CPU Operating Speed: This item displays the CPU operating speed according to the type and speed of your CPU. You can also select the [User Define] option to enter the manual option. User Define: WARNING: The wrong settings of the multiplier and external clock in certain circumstances may cause CPU damage. Setting the working frequency higher than the PCI chipset or processor specs, may cause abnormal memory module functioning, system hangs, hard disk drive data lose, abnormal functioning of the VGA card, or abnormal functioning with other add-on cards. Using non-specification settings for your CPU is not the intention of this explanation. These should be used for engineering testing, not for normal applications. There will be no guaranty for the settings beyond specification, any damage of any component on this motherboard or peripherals result therein is not our responsibility. External Clock: This item selects the external clock frequency. Due to the specification limit of the CPU you installed, the speed you set over its standard bus speed is supported, but not guaranteed. Multiplier Factor: This item displays the multiplier factor for the CPU you installed. NOTE: Some processors might have this multiplier factor locked, so there is no way to choose a higher multiplier factor. Voltages Control: This option allows you to switch between the default and user-defined voltages. Leave this setting to default unless the current voltage setting cannot be detected or is not correct. The option “User Define” enables you to select the following voltages manually. CPU Core Voltage: This item selects the CPU core voltage. AGP VDDQ Voltage: This item selects the voltage for AGP slot. DDR SDRAM Voltage: This item selects the voltage for DRAM slot. NB Voltage: This item selects the NB voltage. SB Voltage: This item selects the SB voltage. HyperTransport Voltage: This item selects the voltage for LDT Bus. function key: After a new configuration on items “External Clock” and “Voltage”, pressing button now in this menu will make it become effective immediately. ATTENTION: An external clock too much over its specification may cause the system unstable or even fail, please proceed with highly attention. Power Cycle Statistics: Click key to enter its submenu: These items display the power cycle statistics for each element. Back to .Guru Utility Setup Menu: Use <>> key to switch from OC Guru setup menu to ABIT EQ setup menu: ABIT EQ Beep Control: This item allows you to enable or disable ABIT EQ Beep Control function. Temperature Monitoring: Click key to enter its submenu: CPU Temperature/System Temperature/PWM Temperature: These items display the temperature of CPU, System, and Power Module. Shutdown Enable: Use key to enable system shutdown function. If the CPU/System/PWM’s temperature exceeds the shutdown temperature limit, the system would shutdown automatically. Shutdown Temp.: This items sets the temperature that would shutdown the system automatically in order to prevent system overheats. Beep Enable: Use key to enable warning beeps function. Once the system has detected...
