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
original system speed or a suitable one.
5.2 SYSTEM REQUIREMENT
OS Support: Windows 98 SE, Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows XP
DirectX: DirectX 8.1 or above. (The Windows XP operating system
includes DirectX 8.1. If you use Windows XP, you do not need to install
DirectX 8.1.)

[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.
