Me. Master (standard setting)

This menu allows you to set basic system configuration. Such as time, date, etc.

Among them, the master/slave IDE is the master/slave IDE device. If your motherboard supports SATA interface, there will be a third/fourth IDE Mastert or more. They manage IDE drivers in computers, such as hard disks, CD-ROMs and so on! Because the settings of each motherboard are different, I won't explain them in detail here, but these generally don't need to be set by users themselves, just the default settings. If you have special requirements, users are advised to set up according to the statement, or ask questions separately in the forum!

system information

This represents the basic hardware information of the system, and there is nothing to talk about (as shown in the figure).

After getting familiar with the basic settings, I stepped into the advanced settings!

2. Advanced (advanced settings) as shown in the figure:

This is the focus setting of Bios, and novices must set it carefully, because it is directly related to the stability of the system and the safety of hardware, and must not be confused!

1. The first thing you see is "JumperFree Configuration" (different brands of motherboards may or may not have it), and then this set can set some CPU parameters. For partners who like overclocking, this set is the main attack! (pictured)

You can see that there is an option of "AI overclocking Tumer", which contains some options, as shown in the above figure, in which "manual" is the key. After selection, you will see the following figure:

For CPU overclocking enthusiasts, these tools should be open, and the external frequency setting of CPU is one of the keys to overclocking. The main frequency of CPU (that is, the frequency within P4 3.0G, etc.) is the value obtained by multiplying the external frequency by the frequency multiplication. For example, when the external frequency of a 3.0G CPU is 200, its frequency doubling is 15, (200mhz * 6544). Generally, the external frequency can be set in the range of 100MHz to 400MHz, but in fact, there are not many CPUs that can reach 300 MHz. Don't set a high external frequency by mistake. Generally, the set scale is around 100-250, so users should be patient when setting it higher, and it is best to add it in steps of 1MHz to prevent one-time addition.

Memory frequency setting (DRAM frequency) Use this item to set the clock of the installed memory. The setting options are: 200 MHz, 266 MHz, 333 MHz, 400 MHz and automatic.

AGP/PCI device frequency setting (AGP/PCI frequency). This project can modify the working frequency of AGP/PCI equipment to obtain faster system function or overclocking function. Set values are [Automatic], [66.66/33.33] and [72.73/36.36]. However, please set it properly. If it is not set properly, the AGP/PCI device may not be used normally!

Needless to say, the voltage setting is to set the voltage of the equipment. General users are advised not to modify it easily to prevent the equipment from being damaged due to incorrect voltage! Even if the user wants to modify it, he must not modify it unclear, and increase the pressure step by step, with the maximum value not exceeding 0.3V.

2.CPU configuration (CPU settings) This project allows you to understand the indicators of the CPU and change the relevant settings of the CPU.

In this way, we can learn all kinds of information about CPU. Because this is the latest Bios program of ASUS, we have added some information about new CPU and enhanced options for Intel64-bit CPU. But these projects are meaningless to the general CPU! Some of these options basically do not need to be changed. However, the most meaningful option is the last hyper-threading technology option, which is the switch to turn on the P4 CPU hyper-threading. Users who use P4 Hyper-Threading CPU should know that some programs actually can't fully support Hyper-Threading Technology, and sometimes even crash. For example, P4 hyper-threading users who surf the Internet with IE of WinXP SP 1 have a CPU utilization of 100%, because they can't fully support hyper-threading technology (but this problem does not exist as long as they update to SP2 or upgrade their systems). At this time, we can turn off the hyper-threading technology of CPU, just set its value to Disabled! But in this way, we can't give full play to the function of P4 Hyper-Threading CPU!

3.Chellpset This menu can be used to modify the value of chipset registers and optimize system performance.

Me. Soft menu setting (soft overclocking setting)

In fact, this soft menu setting is a unique technology for motherboard upgrade, which provides a wealth of CPU external frequency, frequency doubling adjustment (which needs CPU support), AGP/PCI bus frequency and CPU/ memory /AGP voltage adjustment frequency and so on. This project is equivalent to "frequency/voltage control" in some motherboards.

The front is some basic information of CPU, and the following options are the primary options for CPU overclocking!

1.CPU running speed (CPU external frequency setting):

This item indicates the running speed of the processor according to the type and speed of the processor you are using. You can manually enter its running speed by selecting the [User Defined] option. As shown in the figure:

Ok, I'll let go of the Bios setup guide here. Before teaching you overclocking, let me explain to you what overclocking is and what overclocking is, so that you can better step into the next step and set overclocking in Bios!

CPU overclocking, its first important item is to increase the frequency of CPU, that is, the main frequency of CPU. The main frequency of CPU is the product of external frequency (FSB) and frequency multiplication factor. For example, the external frequency of a CPU is 200MHz, and the frequency doubling is 10. It can be calculated that its main frequency = external frequency × frequency doubling = 200 MHz× 10 = 2000 MHz, that is, 2.0GHz.

Increasing the main frequency of CPU can be achieved by changing the frequency doubling or external frequency of CPU. But if you use IntelCPU, you can miss the frequency doubling, because Intel CPU uses a special manufacturing process to prevent the modification of frequency doubling. However, some of Intel's engineering samples are not locked in the frequency doubling, and AMD's CPU can modify the frequency doubling. Although upgrading the CPU's external frequency or frequency doubling can make the CPU reach the same frequency, for example, a 2.0GHz CPU uses 200 * 10 = 2.0, we can upgrade the frequency doubling to 20 and reduce the FSB to 100MHz, or we can upgrade the FSB to 250 and reduce the frequency doubling to 8. Both methods can make the main frequency reach 2.0G, but their effects are different. Because the external frequency (FSB) is the channel used by the system to communicate with the processor, it should be improved as much as possible. Therefore, if the FSB is reduced to 100MHz and the frequency multiplier is increased to 20, there will still be a clock frequency of 2.0GHz, but the communication between the rest of the system and the processor will be much slower than before, resulting in the loss of system functions. So, if the user's CPU can reduce the frequency doubling, try it!

The speed of external frequency is usually closely related to the speed of front-end bus and memory. So when you upgrade to CPU external frequency, the functions of CPU, system and memory are also upgraded, which is why DIYer likes overclocking.

Ok, let's get down to business and continue Bios setup. After you select the "Use Defined" option in "CPU Running Speed", you will see that CPU options that were previously unavailable can now be set!

1. external clock (CPU/AGP/PCI)

This is the setting option for external frequency adjustment. Manually enter the external frequency value of CPU to be set. Here, the input value is allowed to be between 100-4 12, which can improve the linear overclocking of the high-lift line at 1MHz and maximize the potential of the CPU. Generally speaking, it is normal for the external frequency of CPU to be around 100 to 250, and generally it will not cross 300MHz. Therefore, users should never adjust the external frequency to the highest at one time. In principle, the CPU overclocking for the first time does not know how high the external frequency can be, so the value of setting the external frequency can be slowly tested by increasing it in steps of three to five megahertz. Here, for tree modeling, the external frequency is directly set to 65438+.

If the CPU's frequency doubling is not locked, Ramo will prompt that there is a frequency doubling factor option under Ext. Clock (CPU/AGP/PCI) menu. This item selects the frequency doubling number of CPU.

2. Estimated new CPU clock:

This item represents the total frequency of the first two items [Ext. Clock] and [multiplier].

3.N/B with CPU components:

This section can set the front-end bus allocated to MCH (Memory Controller). Options are: [PSB400], [PSB533], [PSB800] and [by CPU]. The default value is by CPU].

To manually configure this section:

If the CPU frequency is 100MHz FSB, you can choose [PSB400].

If the CPU frequency is 133MHz FSB, you can select [PSB533].

You can select [PSB800] if the CPU frequency is 200MHz.

4.DRAM ratio (CPURAM):

This part can determine the frequency ratio of CPU and DRAM.

Speaking of which, I have to explain to you the relationship between CPU and memory. The frequency of memory is determined by the external frequency (FSB), so when overclocking CPU, we will also increase the operating frequency of memory and set the ratio of external frequency to memory bus frequency. If DDR333 memory is used, its standard working frequency can reach 166MHz. Because we just set the external frequency to 133MHz, we can choose "4:5" to make the memory run at the highest frequency.

5. Fixed AGP/PCI frequency:

This item can be used to determine the frequency of AGP/PCI bus. This option allows you to keep the AGP/PCI frequency at a fixed frequency to improve the system's invariance.

6.CPU power supply:

This option allows the user to switch between the design voltage value of the processor and the user-defined voltage value. Please don't change this design voltage value at will unless you have some adjustment experience. After selecting the User Defined option, CPU Core Voltage can select the voltage used by the CPU focus, which allows you to manually select the focus voltage value of the processor. As shown in the figure:

Let's introduce the focus voltage of CPU. The rated focusing voltage of P4 CPU is 1.5V, and it is usually safe not to cross the voltage of1.65v. Of course, overclocking to increase the voltage is to increase the voltage as little as possible on the premise of keeping things unchanged. This is from the point of view of heat dissipation, in order to keep the temperature of CPU as low as possible. The voltage can also be gradually tried to increase bit by bit, and there is no need to rush to reach the designated position in one step. Let's try 1.55V here. Please note that the voltage at both ends of 1.70V is harmful to P4 of Beimu focus, which may burn the CPU, so the voltage should not be too high!

7.DDR SDRAM voltage:

The device can select DRAM slot to transmit voltage.

It is to increase the voltage that supplies power to DDR memory. The default voltage of DIMM module is 2.5V. If the memory level is not good or the memory is overclocked, the memory voltage can be increased appropriately, and the pressure amplitude should not exceed 0.5V as far as possible, otherwise the memory may be damaged!

Finally, you can also see the option to increase the voltage of the AGP indicator card. If your overclocking is aimed at the standard external frequency and the indicator card overclocking, you can consider increasing the voltage of some AGP appropriately. The default voltage of AGP is 1.5V, as shown in the figure:

Well, having said so much about overclocking Bios settings, let's continue to state the Bios settings of other options. Of course, there is also an internal saying about optimizing overclocking!

2. Standard CMOS characteristics (standard CMOS parameter setting)

There's no need to talk about it! I think everyone can understand! The following is an explanation of the options in IDE Device Settings. Generally, you don't need user settings, just keep the default!

3.。 Advanced BIOS function (BIOS advanced function setting)

1. Quick POST:

When set to [Enabled], this item can speed up the POST process after the system power is turned on. BIOS will shorten or skip some check items during POST, thus speeding up the startup waiting time!

2. Hard disk startup priority:

This option allows you to select the priority of hard disk startup and press.

3. Hard disk replacement information:

When set to [Enabled], if the hard disk installed in the system changes, a reminder message will appear on the screen during the boot process of POST.

4. First boot device/second boot device/third boot device/boot other devices:

Select devices to be the first, second and third boot devices from the items of [first boot device], [second boot device] and [main boot device]. The BIOS will start the operating system in turn according to the boot device you choose! The equipment you can choose depends on the equipment you install! As shown in the figure:

4. Advanced chipset features (chipset settings)

Chipset setting is also a key setting in Bios setting, please specify!

1.DRAM timing is optional (memory parameter setting option):

This project will set the best timing method for the next four projects according to different memory modules. The default value is Press SPD. This default value will read the internal nature of SPD (serial presence detection) equipment and set these four items according to the internal nature of SPD. EEPROM (Read Only Memory) on the memory module stores important parameter information about the module, such as memory type, size, speed, voltage interface and module storage area.

2.CAS delay time:

This project can control the delay time between the DRAM read instruction and the actual availability of data. Lower CAS cycle can reduce the waiting period of memory, thus improving the efficiency of memory. Therefore, as long as you can run the operating system, you should try to reduce the CAS parameters to improve the running speed of the memory. On the contrary, if the memory runs unchanged, you can set this parameter larger to improve the memory invariance.

3. Pre-charge delay action:

This item controls the DRAM frequency value used for DRAM parameters. Similarly, the numerical function is high, but the memory quality is also strict!

4. Delay from DRAM RAS # to CAS#:

This project can control the delay time between DRAM utility instruction and read/write instruction, with 2, 3 and 4 options. The smaller the value, the better the function.

5.DRAM RAS# precharge:

This item is used to control the waiting time of frequency waiting to start after sending precharge command to DRAM. The smaller the precharge parameter, the faster the memory read and write speed.

Generally, the above memory parameter settings cannot be moved! Let the default be enough, but overclocking players will never let go of any tools that can improve their functions, so if you want to upgrade the functions of your computer here, you must experiment slowly and choose a suitable parameter to make your computer reach the best state of function and invariance!

6. Video BIOS can be cached:

Just like the caching function of the system BIOS, enabling the caching function of the mirror BIOS will allow access to the mirror BIOS, which has the caching function from C0000H to C7FFFH, if the cache controller is also enabled. The larger the cache, the faster the image performance.

7. 15m- 16m memory hole (expansion card memory allocation):

When it is set to [Enabled], the memory space of 15M- 16M will be reserved for ISA expansion cards that particularly need this setting. This will make the memory exceed 15 MB, and the system cannot be used. Please use the system defaults for this project.

8. Delay before heating:

This item can be used to select the delay time before the action of thermal equipment.

9.AGP aperture size (AGP card slot memory allocation setting):

This item can specify the system memory size used by AGP devices, which is part of the PCI memory address size, and can allocate space for selling graphics memory.

10. First initialize the display:

In this project, you can choose to initialize AGP or PCI slots first when the system is turned on.

[AGP]: When the system is turned on, it will initialize the AGP slot first.

[PCI slot]: When the system is turned on, the PCI slot will be initialized first.

1 1.AGP data transmission rate:

This item allows you to select the data transmission rate of AGP devices. Higher data transmission rate can provide faster and better graphics processing capability for your system. Please clearly acknowledge that your beacon card can support the mode you choose. At present, most of the graphics cards bought are 8X, so you can generally use the default.

Verb (abbreviation for verb) integrates peripherals (integrated device settings)

This is an option to manage the integrated devices and ports of the computer motherboard. Because the motherboard of a specific project is different, the settings will be different. This is not a specific interpretation, but an interpretation for readers to understand each other.

Attachment 2:

When your partners overclock their computers, they may find that the system can't intervene normally, or even start after regular meetings. At this time, we will hold COMS clearing, which is a function of the opportunity motherboard. Some motherboards can be overclocked and then turned on after blocking the power supply. This is the security cover function of the motherboard, which will automatically load the security Bios setting information. However, this method can only be used for some motherboards. If you try this method, there is another way, that is, clear the Bios, disassemble the chassis, remove a button cell from the motherboard, find a three-pin jumper next to button cell to jump from one pin to two or three pins, then jump back to one or two pins, and then install the button cell! At this point, the Bios settings have been cleared and restored to the original state!
