4. Over clock Panel

Click the Overclock button in Main Panel, the button will be
highlighted and the Overcl ock Panel will slide out to left as the

fol l owi ng f igur e.

Overclock Panel cont ains the these features:

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

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

Warning:

Manually overclock is potentially dangerous, especially when t he
overclocking percentage is over 110 %. We st rongly recommend you

verify ev ery s peed y ou ov erc loc k by c lic k the Verify button. Or, you can
just click Auto ov erc lock but t on and let [WarpSpeeder™] aut om atically

gets the best result f or you.

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

[Wa rpS peede r™ ] will se t the best an d stable performa nce and
frequency automatically. [WarpSpeeder™] utility will execute a

se ries of testing until system fail. Then syst em will do fail-saf e
reboot by using Watchdog function. After reboot, the

[WarpSpeeder™] utility will restore to the hardware default
setting or load the veri fied best and stable frequency according

to the Recovery Di alog’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 syste m registry. If

the testing fail, system will do a fail-safe rebooting. After reboot,
the [WarpSpe eder™ ] utility will rest ore to the hardwa re default

setting or load the veri fied best and stable frequency according
to the Recovery Di alog’s setting.

Note:

Becaus e the testing programs, invok ed in Aut o-overclock and Verify,
include D irectDraw, 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 Ha rdwa re Mo nitor button in Ma in Pane l, the button will be
highlighted and the Hardware Monitor panel will slide out to left as

the fo l lowing f ig ur e.
In thi s panel, you can get the real-time status information of your

syste m. T he informa tio n will be refreshed every 1 second.

6. About Panel

Click the “about” button in Main Panel, the button will be highlighted
and the About Pa ne l will s l id e out t o up as the fo l low in g f igur e.

In thi s panel, you can get model name and detail inform ati on i n hi nts
of all the chipset that are related to overclocking. You can al so get

the mainboard’s BIOS model and the Version number of
[WarpSpeeder™] utility.

30

Note:

Because the overclock, overvol tage, 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
cor r elative bu tton in M ain panel will be disabled, but will not i nterfere

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 whi ch allows I/O devices to op erate 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.



Figure 7. PnP/PCI Configurations

Init Display First

The option let you select the initial display slot.

The Choices: PCI Slot (default), AGP .

Reset Configuration Data

The system BIOS supports the PnP feature which 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 updat e ESCD to the memory
locations. These locations are reserv ed i n the s ystem 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

Legacy is the term, which signi fies that a res ource is assigned to the ISA Bus and provides

or provides for ISA PnP add-on cards and peripherals.

The Choices: Disabled (default), Enabled.

Resources Con trolled 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.

IRQ Res ou rces

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”.

PCI / VGA Palette Snoop

Choose Disabled or Enabled. Some graphic controllers which 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 fro m 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, th e Write A ccess to th e palette will not show up on the

ISA bus if the PCI VGA controller responds to the Write.

In th is cas e, t h e P CI VG A control l er sh ou ld n o t re sp on d to t h e W rit e, it should only snoop
the data and permit the access to be forwarded to the ISA bus. The non-VGA ISA graphic

controller can then snoop the data on the ISA bus. Unless you have the above situation,
you should disable this option.
