Note:

Because the testing programs, invoked in Auto-overclock and Verify,
include DirectDraw, Direct3D and DirectShow tests, the DirectX 8.1 or
newer runtime library is required. And please make sure your display
card’s color depth is High color (16 bit) or True color( 24/32 bit ) that is
required for Direct3D rendering.

5. Hardware Monitor Panel

Click the Hardware Monitor button in Main Panel, the button will be
highlighted and the Hardware Monitor panel will slide out to left as
the following figure.

In this panel, you can get the real-time status information of your
system. The information will be refreshed every 1 second.

6. About Panel

Click the “about” button in Main Panel, the button will be highlighted
and the About Panel will slide out to up as the following figure.

In this panel, you can get model name and detail information in hints
of all the chipset that are related to overclocking. You can also get
the mainboard’s BIOS model and the Version number of
[WarpSpeeder™] utility.

Note:

Because the overclock, overvoltage, and hardware monitor features
are controlled by several separate chipset, [WarpSpeeder™] divide
these features to separate panels. If one chipset is not on board, the
correlative button in Main panel will be disabled, but will not interfere
other panels’ functions. This property can make [WarpSpeeder™]
utility more robust.

7 PnP/PCI Configurations

This section describes configuring the PCI bus system. PCI, or Personal Computer
Interconnect, is a system which allow s I/O devices to operate at speeds ne ari ng the speed of
the CPU itself uses when communicating with its own special components. This section
covers some very technical items and it is strongly recommended tha t only experienced
users should make any c hange s to the defa ul t set tings.

RESOURCES CONTROLLED BY

By Choosing “Auto (ESCD)” (default), the system BIOS will detect the system
resources and automatically assign the relative IRQ and DMA channel for each
peripheral. By Cho os ing “Manua l” , the use r will need to ass ign IRQ & DMA for add- on
cards. Be sure that there are no IRQ/DMA and I/O port conflicts.

IRQ RESOURCES

This submenu will allow you to assign each system interrupt a type, depending on the
type of device using the inter r upt. When you press the “Press Enter” tag, you will be
directed to a submenu that will allow you to configure the system interrupts. This is only
configurable when “Resources Controlled By” is set to “Manual”.

PCI / VGA PALETT E SNOOP

Choose Disabled or Enabled. Some graphic controllers that are not VGA compatible take
the output from a VGA controller and m ap it to their display as a way to provide boot
information and VGA compatibility. However, the color information coming from the
VGA controller is dra wn from the palette table inside the VGA controller to gener a te the
proper colors, and the graphic controller needs to know what is in the palette of the VGA
controlle r . To do this, the no n-VGA gra phic cont r o ller watch for the Write ac ce ss to the
VGA palette and registers the snoop data. In PCI based systems, where the VGA
controller is on the PCI bus and a non-VGA graphic controller is on an ISA bus, the
Write Access to the palette will not show up on the ISA bus if the PCI VGA controller
responds to the Write.
In this case, the PCI VGA controller should not respond to the Write, it should only
snoop the data and permit the access to be forw a rde d to the IS A bus. The no n-V G A ISA
graphic controller can the n snoop the data on the ISA bus. Unless you have t he above
situation, you should di sable this option.
Disabled (default) disable the function.
Enabled Enable the function.
