2-2 Setting your CPU’s Parameters

Intel “Hyper-Threading Technology”

To enabling the functionality of Hyper-Threading Technology for your computer system you require ALL of the following platform components:

CPU: An Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor with HT Technology;

Chipset: An Intel® Chipset that supports HT Technology;

BIOS: A BIOS that supports HT Technology and has it enabled;

OS: An operating system that supports HT Technology.

Frequency Configuration:

With the latest technology this motherboard enables the user to setup a main board’s CPU parameters through an easy-to-use BIOS setup procedure. It is no longer necessary to make many jumper settings as on conventional motherboard.

After installing all your hardware into your PC system, you can manually configure your CPU clock ratio and CPU clock according to your processor’s specifications. After turning on your system’s power, enable the CMOS Setup Utility by pressing [Delete] key when your BIOS identification screen appears. Then go to Frequency/ Voltage control option and select your CPU clock ratio and CPU clock speed (please refer to Chapter 3 for more details).

If you install a CPU on this motherboard, you must set the [External Clock Frequency] JP3 according to your processor types (See Section 2.4).

How to Derive your CPU Core Speed?

CPU Core Speed = CPU Clock Core/Bus Ratio

You do not need to change any voltage settings because this board will automatically set your CPU voltage.

Overclockability:

This motherboard is designed to support overclocking ability. However, please make sure your components are able to tolerate such abnormal setting, while CPU clock speed is overclocked. Any attempt to operate beyond product specifications is not recommended. We are not responsible for damages caused by inadequate operation or settings beyond product specifications.
