Introduction
CMOS Reloaded is a technology that allows storing mul-
tiple user-defined BIOS settings by using the BIOS utility
to save, load and name the settings. This is especially use-
ful to overclockers who require saving a variety of
overclocked settings and being able to conveniently switch between
these settings simultaneously.
The options in Genie BIOS allows configuring the system
to optimize system performance and overclock capability.
The presence of the power switch and reset switch on
the system board are user-friendly especially to DIY us-
ers. They provide convenience in powering on and/or re-
setting the system while fine tuning the system board
before it is installed into the system chassis.
The system board supports Intel processors with Hyper-
Threading Technology. Enabling the functionality of Hyper-
Threading Technology for your computer system requires
ALL
of the following platforms.
Components:
• CPU - an Intel
®
Pentium
®
4 Processor with HT Technology
• Chipset - an Intel
®
chipset that supports HT Technology
• BIOS - a BIOS that supports HT Technology and has it enabled
• OS - an operating system that includes optimizations for HT
Technology
For more information on Hyper-Threading Technology, go to:
www.intel.com/info/hyperthreading.
CPU Overheat Protection has the capability of monitoring
the CPU’s temperature during system boot up. Once the
CPU’s temperature exceeded the temperature limit pre-de-
fined by the CPU, the system will automatically shutdown.
This preventive measure has been added to protect the CPU from
damage and insure a safe computing environment.
