Load Optimal/High Performance Defaults
The two options on the main menu allow users to restore all of the BIOS
settings to High Performance defaults or Optimal defaults. The High Perform-
ance Defaults are the default values set by the mainboard manufacturer for the
best system performance but probably will cause a stability issue. The Optimal
Defaults are the default values also set by the mainboard manufacturer for
stable performance of the mainboard.
When you select Load Optimal Defaults, a message as below appears:
Pressing ‘Enter’ loads the default values that are factory settings for stable
system performance.
When you select Load High Performance Defaults, a message as below appears:
Pressing ‘Enter’ loads the default BIOS values that enable the best system
performance but may lead to a stability issue.
The Load High Performance Defaults option is for power or
overclocking users only
. Use of high performance defaults
will tighten most timings to increase the system performance.
Therefore, a high-end system configuration is a must, which
means you need high-quality VGA adapter, RAM and so on.
We don’t recommend that users should apply the high per-
formance defaults 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. For more information,
refer to “Clear CMOS Jumper:JBAT1” in Chapter 2.
