2-3 QUICK BIOS SETUP
This motherboard does not use any hardware jumpers to set the CPU frequency.
Instead, CPU settings are software configurable with the BIOS
[SOYO
COMBO FEATURE].
The [SOYO COMBO FEATURE] combines the main
parameters that you need to configure, all in one menu, for a quick setup in
BIOS.
After the hardware installation is completed, turn the power switch on,
then press the
<DEL>
key during the system diagnostic checks to enter
the Award BIOS Setup program. The CMOS SETUP UTILITY will be
shown on the screen. Follow these steps to configure the CPU settings.
Standard User Setting.
For a standard User, the best way to configure the BIOS settings is to
choose “Load Optimized setup default”. This will set the BIOS to the
optimized settings. The CPU and Memory will be set automatically.
Advanced User settings
.
SOYO Combo Default setting.
The default setting in the SOYO Combo setup is set to “AUTO”. It can be
changed to “Manual” for advance User to have better control of the BIOS.
If “Manual” option is selected, there are few rules that have to be following.
Incorrect setting will either overclock or underclock the components and
thus shorten the live of the components.
Selecting “CPU Frequency Mode” to “AUTO/Manual”.
To set the “CPU frequency Mode” to “Manual”, highlight the option using
up and down key. Press ‘Enter’ and a pop up manual will show the desire
settings. Move the ‘up’ or ‘down’ arrow key to set “Manual”, then hit ‘enter’.
The CPU frequency mode is now set to “Manual” setting, which mean you
can change the frequency of the CPU from the actual frequency. (Refer to
