new parameters.
When you change your CPU:
This motherboard has been designed in such a way that you can turn the system on after having inserted a
CPU in the socket without having to configure any jumpers or DIP switches. But if you change your CPU,
normally you just have to turn off the power supply (mechanical off), change the CPU and then, set up the
CPU parameters through
SOFT MENU
™
. However, if the new CPU is slower than the old one (and is
same brand and type), we offer you two methods to successfully complete the CPU change operation.
Method 1:
Setup up the CPU for the lowest speed for its brand. Turn the power supply off (mechanical
off) and change the CPU. Then turn the system on again, and set up the CPU parameters
through
SOFT MENU
™
.
Method 2:
Since you have to open the computer case when you change the CPU, it could be a good idea
to use the CCMOS jumper to erase the parameters of the original CPU and to enter BIOS
Setup to set up CPU parameters again.
Attention
After setting up the parameters and leaving the BIOS SETUP, and having verified that the system can
be booted, do not press the Reset button or turn off the power supply. Otherwise the BIOS will not
read correctly, the parameters will fail and you must enter
SOFT MENU
™
again to set up the
parameters all over again.
CPU Core Voltage:
This option allows you to increment Core Voltage 5%, 10%, 15%.
®
Std. Vcore:
The system will detect the CPU type and select the proper voltage automatically. When
use this option, it does not change the default CPU Vcore voltage. We recommend
using this default setting and not changing it unless the current CPU type and voltage
setting can not be detected or is not correct.
®
5%:
These options lets the user select the voltage manually. The actual voltage of Vcore
will be more 5% that the CPU default voltage.
®
10%:
These options lets the user select the voltage manually. The actual voltage of Vcore
will be more 10% that the CPU default voltage.
®
15%:
These options lets the user select the voltage manually. The actual voltage of Vcore
will be more 15% that the CPU default voltage.
