Using BIOS
Frequency Control
This item enables you to set the clock speed and system bus for your system. The clock
speed and system bus are determined by the kind of processor you have installed in your
system.
Phoenix-AwardBIOS CMOS Setup Utility
Frequency Control
CPU Clock Ratio (8X)
Enables you to set the CPU clock. The CPU clock ratio times the CPU Host/PCI Clock
should equal the core speed of the installed processor. (For unlock Ratio CPU only.)
Example: CPU Clock Ratio 8
CPU Frequency X100
Installed CPU Clock Speed 800 MHz
Auto Detect DIMM/PCI Clk (Enabled)
Spread Spectrum (Disabled)
If you enable spread spectrum, it can significantly reduce the EMI (Electro-Magnetic
Interference) generated by the system.
CPU Clock (100MHz)
Use the CPU Host Clock to set the frontside bus frequency for the installed processor
(usually 133 MHz, 100 MHz, or 66 MHz).
When this item is enabled, BIOS will disable the clock signal of free DIMM and PCI slots.
Shutdown Temperature (Disabled)
Enables you to set the maximum temperature the system can reach before powering down.
System Component Characteristics
These items allow end users and technicians to monitor data provided by the BIOS on this
motherboard. You cannot make changes to these fields.
• Current CPU/System Temperature
• CPU/SYS Fan Speed
• CPU Core Voltage
• Battery Voltage
Target Temperature (Disabled)
This item enables throttling when CPU targets the temperature.
