WarpSpeeder
Introduction
[ WarpSpeeder™ ], a new powerful control utility, features three user-friendly functions
including Overclock Manager, Overvoltage Manager, and Hardware Monitor.
With the Overcl ock Mana ge r, use r s can ea si ly adjust the fre quency they prefer or they can
get the best CPU performance with just one click. The Overv oltage 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 sy nchronically shown on our main panel.
Moreover, to protect users' computer sy stems if the setting is not appropriate when testing
