CHAPTER 5: WARPSPEEDER™

5.1 INTRODUCTION

[WarpSpeeder™], a new powerful control utility, features three
user-friendly functions including Overclock Manager, Overvoltage
Manager, and Hardware Monitor.

With the Overclock Manager, users can easily adjust the frequency they
prefer or they can get the best CPU performance with just one click. The
Overvoltage Manager, on the other hand, helps to power up CPU core
voltage and Memory voltage. The cool Hardware Monitor smartly indicates
the temperatures, voltage and CPU fan speed as well as the chipset
information. Also, in the About panel, you can get detail descriptions about
BIOS model and chipsets. In addition, the frequency status of CPU,
memory, AGP and PCI along with the CPU speed are synchronically
shown on our main panel.

Moreover, to protect users' computer systems if the setting is not
appropriate when testing and results in system fail or hang,
[WarpSpeeder™] technology assures the system stability by automatically
rebooting the computer and then restart to a speed that is either the

I86PE-A4

4. Overclock Panel

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

Overclock Panel contains the these features:

a. “–3MHz button”, “-1MHz button”, “+1MHz button”, and “+3MHz button”:

provide user the ability to do real-time overclock adjustment.

Warning:

Manually overclock is potentially dangerous, especially when the
overclocking percentage is over 110 %. We strongly recommend you
verify every speed you overclock by click the Verify button. Or, you can
just click Auto overclock button and let [WarpSpeeder™] automatically
gets the best result for you.

b. “Recovery Dialog button”: Pop up the following dialog. Let user select

a restoring way if system need to do a fail-safe reboot.

29

Motherboard Manual

c. “Auto-overclock button”: User can click this button and

[WarpSpeeder™] will set the best and stable performance and
frequency automatically. [WarpSpeeder™] utility will execute a
series of testing until system fail. Then system will do fail-safe
reboot by using Watchdog function. After reboot, the
[WarpSpeeder™] utility will restore to the hardware default
setting or load the verified best and stable frequency according
to the Recovery Dialog’s setting.

d. “Verify button”: User can click this button and [WarpSpeeder™]

will proceed a testing for current frequency. If the testing is ok,
then the current frequency will be saved into system registry. If
the testing fail, system will do a fail-safe rebooting. After reboot,
the [WarpSpeeder™] utility will restore to the hardware default
setting or load the verified best and stable frequency according
to the Recovery Dialog’s setting.

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.

30

I86PE-A4

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.

BIOS SETUP

Introduction

This manual discussed Award™ Setup program built into the ROM
BIOS. The Setup program allows users to modify the basic system
configuration. This specia l information is then stored in battery-backed
RAM so that it retains the Setup information when the power is turned
off.

The Award BIOS™ installed in your computer system’s ROM (Read
Only Memory) is a custom version of an industry standard BIOS. This
means that it supports Intel Pentium ® 4 processor input/output system.
The BIOS provides critical low-level support for standard devices such
as disk drives and serial and parallel ports.

Adding important has customized the Award BIOS™, but nonstandard,
features such as virus and password protection as well as special
support for detailed fine-tuning of the chipset controlling the entire
system.

The rest of this manual is intended to guide you through the process of
configuring your system using Setup.

Plug and Play Support

These AWARD BIOS supports the Plug and Play Version 1.0A
specification. ESCD (Extended System Configuration Data) write is
supported.

EPA Green PC Support

This AWARD BIOS supports Version 1.03 of the EPA Green PC
specification.

APM Support

These AWARD BIOS supports Version 1.1&1.2 of the Advanced Power
Management (APM) specification. Power management features are
implemented via the System Management Interrupt (SMI). Sleep and
Suspend power management modes are supported. This AWARD BIOS
can manage power to the hard disk drives and video monitors.

ACPI Support

Award ACPI BIOS support Version 1.0 of Advanced Configuration and
Power interface specification (ACPI). It provides ASL code for power
management and device configuration capabilities as defined in the
ACPI specification, developed by Microsoft, Intel and Toshiba.

PCI Bus Support

7 PnP/PCI Configurations

This section describes configuring the PCI bus system. PCI, or Personal
Computer Interconnect, is a system that allows I/O devices to operate at speeds
nearing 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 that only experienced users should make any changes
to the default settings.

7.1 RESET CONFIGURATION DATA

The system BIOS supports the PnP feature that requires the system to
record which resources are assigned and protects resources from conflict.
Every peripheral device has a node, which is called ESCD. This node
records which resources are assigned to it. The system needs to record
and update ESCD to the memory locations. These locations (4K) are
reserved in the system BIOS. If the Disabled (default) option is chosen,
the system‘s ESCD will update only when the new configuration varies
from the last one. If the Enabled option is chosen, the system is forced to
update ESCDs and then is automatically set to the “Disabled” mode.

The above settings will be shown on the screen only if “Manual” is chosen
for the resources controlled by function.

Legacy is the term, whic h signifies that a resource is assigned to the ISA
Bus and provides non-PnP ISA add-on cards. PCI / ISA PnP signifies that
a resource is assigned to the PCI Bus or provides for ISA PnP add-on
cards and peripherals.

The Choices:

Disabled (default), Enabled.

28

I86PE-A4 BIOS Setup

7.2 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 Choosing “Manual”, the user will need to
assign IRQ & DMA for add-on cards. Be sure that there are no IRQ/DMA
and I/O port conflicts.

7.3 IRQ RESOURCES

This submenu will allow you to assign each system interrupt a type,
depending on the type of device using the interrupt. 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”.

IRQ-3 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-4 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-5 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-7 assigned to PCI Device
IRQ-9 assigned to PCI Device

I86PE-A4 BIOS Setup

7.4 PCI / VGA PALETTE SNOOP

Choose Disabled or Enabled. Some graphic controllers that are not
VGA compatible take the output from a VGA controller and map it to their
display as a way to provide boot information and VGA compatibility.

However, the color information coming from the VGA controller is drawn
from the palette table inside the VGA controller to generate the proper
colors, and the graphic controller needs to know what is in the palette of
the VGA controller. To do this, the non-VGA graphic controller watches
for the Write access 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
