Introduction of NVIDIA NF6100-400/405 Motherboard Series
1-1 Features of motherboard
Th e N V I D I A N F 6100-400 / 405 Platform Processor Chipset based motherboard series are based
on the latest NVIDIA NF6100-400(MCP61V) / NVIDIA NF6100-405(MCP61S) Platform
Processor Chipset which supports the innovative and supercharged new generation 64-bit
AMD Socket AM2 Athlon64 and Sempron processors with HyperTransport Technology up to
1000MHz. NVID IA N F6100-400 / 405 Platform Processor Chipset mot herb o ard s erie s de l iver the
outstanding system performance and professional desktop platform solution with the
advantages of new generation 64-bit AMD Socket AM2 Athlon64 & Sempron processors
with an integrated low-latency high-bandwidth DDRII memory controller and a
highly-scalable HyperTransport technology-based system bus up to 1.0GHZ. By
implementing the new generation NVIDIA NF6100-400 / 405 Platform Processor Chipset
integrated graphic processor which adopts the innovative 90nm process technology, the
GeForce 6100 Graphics Core integrated video graphics array brings more compatibility,
stability and reliability with the widest range of games and applications to the desktop
platform system. The motherboards support the stunning video playback in all formats and
with superb picture clarity that brings the best visual experience and ultra-realistic effects to
th e us e rs . N V ID I A NF 6100-400 / 405 Platform Processor Chipset mot h e rb o ar d s er i e s a r e t h e re a l
cost-effective and powerful integrated multimedia platform solutions and meet the demanding
usage of computing now and future.
The motherboards incorporate the integrated NVIDIA GeForce 6100 Graphics Core which is
fully compatible with Microsoft® DirectX® 9.0C and Shader Model 3.0. And it also supports
1000 MHz HyperTransport speed of data transfer rate, the motherboards support new
generation Socket AM2 processors with an integrated DDRII memory controller which
provides with 200MHz / 266MHz / 333MHz/ 400MHz memory clock frequency for Dual
channel DDRII400/DDRII533/DDRII667/DDRII800(AM2 Sempron processor only supports
up to DDRII667 memory) DDRII Module up to 4.0GB.(The 4-DIMM design motherboards
are expandable to 8.0GB) .And NVIDIA it also accommodates ULTRA ATA 133 connectors
and Serial ATA2 with RAID 0 and RAID1 functions which support up to two IDE and two
Serial ATA2 devices to accelerate hard disk drives and guarantee the data security without
failure in advanced computing performance.
The motherboards provide optional 10/100 LAN function with Realtek RTL8201CL 10/100
LAN PHY which supports 10/100Mbps data transfer rate(The 4-DIMM design motherboard
integrated the Realtek RTL8101E or RTL8201CL 10/100 LAN chipset supporting 10/100Mbps
data transfer rate). And the embedded optional Azalia 8-channel Audio CODEC is fully
compatible with Sound Blaster Pro® standards that offer you with the home cinema quality and
satisfying software compatibility. The optional embedded 6-channel AC’ 97 Audio CODEC is
fully compatible with Sound Blaster Pro® standard.
NVIDIA NF6100-405(MCP61S) PPC motherboard series offer one 8-LANE PCI-Express x16
graphics slot of 2Gbyte/sec data transfer rate at each relative direction which get 1.75 times of
bandwidth more than AGP8X and it’s up to a peak concurrent bandwidth of 4Gbyte/sec at full
1
speed to guarantee the performance and compatibility of GPU graphics add-in cards. And
NVIDIA NF6100-400(MCP61V) PPC motherboard series offer one 1-LANE PCI-Express x16
graphics slot of 512Mbyte/sec concurrently to guarantee the compatibility of all PCI Express
Interface compatible add-in cards. The whole series carry two 32-bit PCI slots guarantee the
rich connectivity for the I/O peripheral devices. One PCI Express x1 I/O slot offers
512Mbyte/sec concurrently, over 3.5 times more bandwidth than PCI at 133Mbye/sec(only
for 2-DIMM design motherboard).
Embedded USB controller as well as capability of expanding to 8 of USB2.0 functional ports
delivering 480Mb/s bandwidth and rich connectivity, these motherboards meet the future
USB demands which are also equipped with hardware monitor function on system to monitor
and protect your system and maintain your non-stop business computing.
Some special features---

/
/
designed for power user to use the over-clocking function in more flexible ways. But please
be caution that the over-clocking maybe cause the fails in system reliabilities. This
motherboard provides the guaranteed performance and meets the demands of the next
generation computing. But if you insist to gain more system performance with variety
possibilities of the components you choose, please be careful and make sure to read the
detailed descriptions of these value added product features, please get them in the coming
section.
1-1.1 Special Features of Motherboard
CPU Thermal Throttling Technology---(The CPU Overheat Protection Technology)
To prevent the increasing heat from damage of CPU or accidental shutdown while at high
workload, the CPU Thermal Throttling Technology will force CPU to enter partially idle
mode from 87.5% to 12.5% according to preset CPU operating temperature in BIOS (from 40
℃ to 90℃). When the system senses the CPU operating temperature reaching the preset
value, the CPU operating bandwidth will be decreased to the preset idle percentage to cool
down the processor. When at throttling mode the beeper sound can be optionally selected to
indicate it is in working.
CPU Smart Fan---( The Noise Management System )
It’s never been a good idea to gain the performance of your system by sacrificing its acoustics. CPU
Smart Fan Noise Management System is the answer to control the noise level needed for now-a-day’s
high performance computing system. The system will automatically increase the fan speed when CPU
operating loading is high, after the CPU is in normal operating condition, the system will low down
the fan speed for the silent operating environment. The system can provide the much longer life cycle
for both CPU and the system fans for game use and business requirements.
CPU Vcore 7-Shift--- (Shift to Higher Performance)
The CPU voltage can be adjusted up by 7 steps for the precisely over-clocking of extra demanding
computing performance.
BIOS BACK Function (Option)--- ( The BIOS Backup and Recovery Function )
With the new support for the Serial Peripheral Interface, the whole motherboard series are
embedded with the new storage of the extra bin file for BIOS recovery. When unexpected
error occurs, even the BIOS crashes down, you can restore your BIOS with just simply
clicking to restart your system. The backup bin file will recover automatically within a few
minutes(Only For 4-DIMM design motherboard)
