Load High Performance/BIOS Setup Defaults
The two options on the main menu allow users to restore all of the BIOS
settings to High Performance defaults or BIOS Setup defaults. The High Per-
formance Defaults are the default values set by the mainboard manufacturer
for the best system performance but probably will cause a stability issue. The
BIOS Setup Defaults are the default values also set by the mainboard manufac-
turer for stable performance of the mainboard.
When you select Load High Performance Defaults, a message as below appears:
Pressing Y loads the default BIOS values that enable the best system
performance but may lead to a stability issue.
When you select Load BIOS Setup Defaults, a message as below appears:
Pressing Y loads the default values that are factory settings for stable system
performance.
The option is for power or overclocking users only
. Use of
high performance defaults will tighten most timings to in-
crease the system performance. Therefore, a high-end sys-
tem configuration is a must, which means you need high-
quality VGA adapter, RAM and so on.
We dont recom-
mend that users should apply the high performance de-
faults in their regular systems.
Otherwise, the system may
become unstable or even crash. If the system crashes or
hangs after enabling the feature, please CLEAR CMOS
DATA to resolve the problem.
