[. . . ] This technology uses lower frequency through the operating system initialization. W hen the initialization completed and the system loading reduced, this function will increase frequency back to correct Frequency. It helps to increase the success rate when extreme overclocking. 3-20 BIOS Setup Disabled Mode 1 Mode 2 Disable this item, apply OC settings during POST. Medium frequency through the operating system initialization. D. O. T Control This item allows users to select either/both of CPU and PCIE to be controlled under D. (Dynamic Overclocking Technology) is an automatic overclocking function, included in the MSITM 's newly developed Dual CoreCellTM Technology. It is designed to detect the load balance of CPU while running programs, and to adjust the best frequency automatically. W hen the motherboard detects system is running programs, it will speed up automatically to make the program run smoothly and faster. W hen the system is temporarily suspending or staying in the low load balance, it will restore the default settings instead. Usually the Dynamic Overclocking Technology will be powered only when users' PC need to run huge amount of data like 3D games or the video process, and the CPU frequency need to be boosted up to enhance the overall performance. CPU D. O. T3 step1/2/3 setting Due to D. O . T can detec t the CPU loading and increase the f requency with 3 overclocking steps. These items allow users to select the speed up range of each step. Important Even though the Dynamic Overclocking Technology is more stable than manual overclocking, basically, it is still risky. We suggest user to make sure that your CPU / memory modules can afford to overclocking regularly first. If you find the PC appears to be unstable or reboot incidentally, it's better to dis able the Dy namic O v erc loc k ing or to lower the lev el of overclocking options. By the way, if you need to conduct overclocking manually, you also need to disable the Dynamic OverClocking first. Intel EIST The Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology allows you to set the performance level of the microprocessor whether the computer is running on battery or AC power. This field will appear after you installed the CPU which support speedstep technology. Intel C-STATE tech C-state is a power management state that significantly reduces the power of the processor during idle. This field will appear after you installed the CPU which support c-state technology. Adjust CPU FSB Frequency (M Hz) It is used to adjust CPU FSB frequency. 3-21 M S-7516 M ainboard Adjusted CPU FSB Frequency (MHz) It shows the adjusted CPU frequency (FSB x Ratio). Advance DRAM Configuration Press <Enter> to enter the sub-menu and the following screen appears. MEMORY-Z Press <Enter> to enter the sub-menu and the following screen appears. DIM M1/2/3/4 Memory SPD Information Press <Enter> to enter the sub-menu and the following screen appears. DIM M 1/2/3/4 Memory SPD Information These items display the current status of the current DIMM Memory speed information such as momory type, max bandwidth, manufacture, part number, serial number, SDRAM cycle time, DRAM TCL, DRAM TRCD, DRAM TRP, DRAM TRAS, DRAM TRFC, DRAM TWR, DRAM TWTR, DRAM TRRD and DRAM TRTP. They are read only. 3-22 BIOS Setup FSB/DRAM Ratio This item will allow you to adjust the FSB/Ratio of the memory. Adjusted DRAM Frequency (MHz) It shows the adjusted DDR Memory frequency. [. . . ] You should be prompted to insert a floppy disk containing the JMicron RAID driver into the A: drive. Important Please follow the instruction below to make an "JMicron RAID Driver" for yourself. Copy all the contents in the \\IDE\JMicron\Floppy32 (for 32-bit OS) or \\IDE\JMicron\Floppy64 (for 64-bit OS) to a formatted floppy disk. The driver diskette for JM icron RAID Controller is done. W hen prompted, insert the floppy disk you created in step 3 and press Enter. The next screen should confirm that you have selected the JMicron RAID controller. [. . . ]
