[. . . ] 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 and PCIE frequency need to be boosted up to enhance the overall performance. 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. Adjust CPU FSB Frequency (M Hz) It is used to adjust CPU FSB frequency. Adjusted CPU Frequency (M Hz) 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. 3-19 M S-7532 M ainboard DIMM 1 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 memory type, manufacture, part number, serial number, SDRAM cycle time, TCL, TRCD, TRP, TRAS, TRC, TW R, TW TR, TRRD and TRTP. CAS Latency (tCL) This controls the CAS latency, which determines the timing delay (in clock cycles) before SDRAM starts a read command after receiving it. tRCD W hen DRAM is refreshed, both rows and columns are addressed separately. This setup item allows you to determine the timing of the transition from RAS (row address strobe) to CAS (column address strobe). tRP This setting controls the number of cycles for Row Address Strobe (RAS) to be allowed to precharge. If insufficient time is allowed for the RAS to accumulate its charge before DRAM refresh, refresh may be incomplete and DRAM may fail to retain data. This item applies only when synchronous DRAM is installed in the system. 3-20 BIOS Setup tRAS This setting determines the time RAS takes to read from and write to memory cell. Advance Memory Setting Setting to [Auto] enables the advance memory timing automatically to be determined by BIOS. FSB/DRAM Ratio This item will allow you to adjust the ratio of FSB to memory. Adjust PCI Frequency This field allows you to select the PCI frequency (in MHz). Auto Disable DIM M/PCI Frequency W hen set to [Enabled], the system will remove (turn off) clocks from empty DIMM and PCI slots to minimize the electromagnetic interference (EMI). CPU Voltage / CPU GTL REF0 / CPU GTL REF1 / DRAM Voltage (V)/ DDR_VREF_CA/DA_A/B / MCH Voltage (V)/ MCH GTL REF / VTT FSB Voltage / ICH Voltage (V) These items dispaly the power status of Memory, FSB and chipset. Spread Spectrum W hen the motherboard's clock generator pulses, the extreme values (spikes) of the pulses create EMI (Electromagnetic Interference). The Spread Spectrum function reduces the EMI generated by modulating the pulses so that the spikes of the pulses are reduced to flatter curves. [. . . ] 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. 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. [. . . ]
