Parameters/ Setting/ Current Value

Displays the following CPU and memory speed. Setting shows the value you manually adjust; Current Value shows the current operating frequency.

Current CPU Freq, MHz

Displays the CPU speeds.

FSB-Memory Clock Mode

Auto

BIOS will automatically set the FSB-Memory clock mode. (Default)

Linked

Allows you to set FSB speed manually; the memory speed changes propor-

 

tionally along with the FSB speed.

Unlinked

Allows you to set FSB speed and memory speed individually.

FSB-Memory Ratio

This item is configurable only if the FSB-Memory Clock Mode option is set to Linked.

Auto

BIOS will automatically set the FSB-Memory ratio. (Default)

1:1

Sets FSB-Memory ratio to 1:1.

5:4

Sets FSB-Memory ratio to 5:4.

3:2

Sets FSB-Memory ratio to 3:2.

Sync Mode

Sets FSB-Memory ratio synchronously.

CPU Host Frequency (Mhz)

Allows you to manually set the CPU host frequency. This item is configurable only if the FSB- Memory Clock Mode option is set to Linked or Unlinked. The adjustable range is from 100 MHz to 650 MHz.

For an 800 MHz FSB CPU, set this item to 200 MHz. For a 1066 MHz FSB CPU, set this item to 266 MHz. For a 1333 MHz FSB CPU, set this item to 333 MHz.

Important It is highly recommended that the CPU frequency be set in accordance with the CPU specifications.

Actual CPU Clock (Mhz)

The value depends on the CPU Host Frequency (Mhz) setting.

Memory Frequency (Mhz)

This item is configurable only if the FSB-Memory Clock Mode option is set to Unlinked. The first frequency value is adjustable and the second is the current operating frequency of your memory. The adjustable range is from 400 MHz to 1400 MHz.

Actual Memory Clock (Mhz)

The value depends on the CPU Host Frequency (Mhz) and Memory Frequency (Mhz) settings.

Robust Graphics Booster

Robust Graphics Booster (R.G.B.) helps to enhance the performance of the graphics chip and memory. Auto allows the BIOS to automatically set the R.G.B. mode based on system configurations. Options are: Auto (default), Fast, Turbo.

CPU Clock Ratio (Note)

Allows you to alter the clock ratio for the installed CPU.

The item is present only if a CPU with unlocked clock ratio is installed.

Normal CPU Vcore

Displays the normal operating voltage of your CPU.

(Note) This item appears only if you install a CPU that supports this feature.
