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

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

Warning:

Manually overclock is pot entially dangerous, especially when the
overclocking percent age is ov er 110 %. We s t rongly rec ommend you

verify every speed y ou overclock by c lick the Verify butt on. Or, you c an
just click Aut o overclock button and let [W arpSpeeder™] aut om atically

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

[W

arpSpeeder™] will set the best and stable performance and

frequency automatically. [WarpSpeeder™] utility will execute a
series of testing unt il 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:

Becaus e the t esting programs, inv ok ed in Auto-overclock and Verif y,
include D irectDraw, D irect3D and D irectShow t ests, the D irectX 8.1 or
newer runtime library is required. And please m ak e sure y our display

card’s color depth is High color (16 bit) or True c olor( 24/32 bit ) that is
required for Direc t3D 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

and th e Ab out P a ne l w ill s lid e out to up as the fo l lowing fig ure.

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™]
util ity m ore rob us t.

BIOS Setup

Introduction

The purpose of this manual is to describe the settings in the Phoenix-Award™
BIOS Setup program on this motherboard. The Setup program allows users to

modify the basic system configuration and save these settings to CMOS RAM.
The power of CMOS RAM is supplied by a battery so that it retains the Setup

information when the power is turned off.
Basic Input-Output System (BIOS) determines what a computer can do without

acc essing programs from a disk. This system controls most of the input and
output devices such as keyboard, mouse, serial ports and disk drives. BIOS

acti vates at the first stage o f t he booting process, l oading and execut ing the
operating system. Some additional features, such as virus and password

protection or chipset fine-tuning options are also included in BIOS.
The rest of this manual will to guide you through the options and settings in

7 PnP/PCI Configurations

This section describes configuring the PCI bus system. PCI, or Personal
Computer Interconnect, is a system which allows I/O devic es to operate at

speeds nearing the speed o f t he C PU itself us es when communicating with it s
own special components. This section covers some very techni cal items and it is

strongly recommended that only experienced users should make any changes to
the default settings.

 Figure 7: PnP/PCI Configurations

PNP OS Installed

When set to YES, BIOS will only initialize the PnP cards used for the boot
sequenc e (VGA, IDE, SCSI). T he rest of the cards will be initialized by the PnP

operating system like Window™ 95. When set to NO, BIOS will initialize all
the PnP cards. For non-PnP operating systems (DOS, Netware™), this option

must set to NO.
The Ch oi ces: No (default), Yes.

Reset Configuration Data

The system BIOS supports the PnP fe ature 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 ar e assigned to it. The system needs to record and update ESCD

to the memory locations. These locations are reserved in the system BIOS. If the
Disabled (de fault) 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 for ced 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, which signifies that a resource is assigned to the ISA Bus

and provides non-PnP ISA add-on cards. PCI / ISA PnP signify that a resource
is assigned to the PCI Bus or provides for ISA PnP add-on cards and

peripherals.
The Ch oi ces: Disabled (default ), Enabled.

Resources Controlled By

By Choosing “Auto(ESCD)” (default ), the system B IOS will det ect t he system
resourc es and aut omati call y assign the relative IRQ and DMA channel for each
