The graphic interface and the settings of your pc could be different from the ones taken back here. For this reason you refer to the manual of your mother card for greater information and specific settings.

Hyper-Threading [Enabled/Disabled]

Alternatives names: CPU Hyper-threading, Hyper-Threading Technology, Hyper-Threading Function.

This function is present on the motherboard with Pentium IV and can be used to activated the Hyper-Threading support.

MPS Version Control For OS

Alternatives names: MPS Revision, MPS Table Version.

MPS (Multi-Processor Specification) is used in multiprocessor system and can be used to improve the performances in Windows 2000, Windows XP o Linux.

CPU Operating Speed (MHz) [CPU default/User define]

(Central Processing Unit) sets up the frequency of the processor, or CPU. Choosing between a configuration predefinita or manual is possible. This last one enables the three next voices. With the automatic configuration, the value '1000 (133)' is, for instance set up or '1000 (266)' what shows the processor is a 1000 MHz and a system bus uses to 133 MHz, ( 266 MHz FSB thanks to the mode double forehead offered by the processor itself ). If they do not have problems, and the processor is recognized correctly, the predefinita setting is recommended. NOTE: if the processor was a 1000 MHz With Bus to 100 MHz (200 FSB) the setting would be '1000 (100)' or '1000 (200)'. Between the two types of processor is obviously several performante ( about majors of about predet 6% ) that with bus of greater system, because a faster information exchange with the mother card and then with all the peripherals guarantees.

MULTIPLIER FACTOR

He manually sets up the value of the multiplier for the processor, if this allows it. With a 1000 Mhz processor and a system bus to 133 MHz the multiplier will be equal to 1000/133 = 7.5 xes. To be used together to the CPU FSB if the processor is not recognized correctly to the original frequency, or to test the overclock. NOTE: if the processor was a 1000 MHz With Bus the multiplier would owe to 100 MHz (200 FSB) be 1000/100 = 10.0 xes. That is obviously several performante between the two types of confugurazione to 1000 MHz with faster bus.

CPU FSB/PCI Clock

He sets up the frequency of the bus of system (called also HOST bus) and sets up the relationship of this last one with the frequency of the bus PCI, which is 33 MHz. To be used to manually set up the processor, or obtain an overclock give her exceptional performances. NOTE: the system bus is the principal 'bottle neck' of the performances. An increase in the bus frequency makes any application much fluider than an increase in the frequency of the processor cannot affect.

CPU FSB Plus (MHz) [0~28]

MHz allows to increase the frequency of the system bus to steps of 1. To be used only in very particular and very rare overclock situations in which the PCI Bus and the AGP Bus do not bear frequencies out specification. Advise against to increase this value any way, since disallinea the deli signals synchronization between the PCI Buses, AGP, processor and memory. Ne gets a forced introduction of cycles of latency for the transit of the data, with a reduction of the efficiency of the system.

CPU Power Supply [CPU default/User define]

He sets up the voltages or tensions of the processor and the chipset. It is possible to choose the predefinita setting or the manual one, which enables the two following voices.

CORE VOLTAGE (Volt)

He sets up the tension of the Core of the processor. They can be many situations in which modifying this value is convenient there:

- in the cases in which the cooling system is not able to keep the temperature low, the processor is subject to overheating causing blocks of the system. In this case lowering of some tenth of volt the tension so as decrease the power absorbed by the processor and therefore dispel less heat, recovering stability is possible.

- in the cases in which the cooling system produces excessive noise, and the processor does not have cooling problems (the system firmly works) reducing of some tenth of volt the tension of the processor reducing so the produced heat is possible. This way replacing the fan (not the dissipatore) with a little and/or silent model will be possible.

- in the cases in which the overclock is practised, rising in frequency and stabilizing the system increasing tenth of volt by some is possible the tension of the processor. This way the digital signals have more distant logical tension levels, helping the discrimination of the themselves ones and improving the stability of the system.

ATTENTION: increasing the tension by processor if he does not have a system of highly efficient cooling is not recommended.

I/O Voltage (Volt)

Imposed the tension of work of the devices of Imput/Output to 3,3 volts what Chipset, graphic card and RAM memory desks. Increasing the tension by I/O is useful to improve the stability if a system bus is used out specification, and/or a timing of the especially pushed memory. The tension can be reduced to reduce the heat dispelled by all the mother card. In both cases too much discostarsi is unadvisable from the predefinito value, problems or instabilities of the system can rise.

ATTENTION: increasing the tension by I/O if he does not have a system of cooling able to avoid the overheating of the chipset, the memory and all the surface of the card mother is not recommended.

Fast CPU Command Decode [Enabled/Disabled]

The latency of the execution sets up of decodes some instructions inside the processor. Activating the option if the system is stable, improving the performance in the applying which is not able to exploit the presence of dedicated hardware is possible. Prestazionale increase: less than 2%, according to as the applications exploit the multimedia instructions of the processor.

CPU Drive Strenght

He sets up the intensity of the signal from the processor to the Northbridge of the chipset. A higher value reduces the latency and can improve the stability. Increase null prestazionale or however lower than 1%. The setting is very delicate and can change from processor to processor for which one advises to leave on the factory value.

Enhance Chip performance [Enabled/Disabled]

He sets up a timing more pushed for the signals than exchange between processor and Northbridge than the chipset, reducing the latency and lightly improving the exchange speed data. The disadvantage consists in a possible reduction of the stability under overclock conditions. One can activate if the pc is stable and does not have temperature problems.

Force 4-Way Interleave [Enabled/Disabled]

He forces the memory to work in the mode 4-Way Interleave. If the memory supports this option, one will have a prestazionale increase well perceptible, especially if activated in unison with the numerous parameters of the timing. The heaviest applications will be executed in fluider way, as rendering applications and backgrounds 3 d. Squeezing the performances from the memory will help the graphic card produce the photograms more quickly, and will help the processor lighten the load of total work. Not all of the types of memories are planned for this mode, and it could turn out a prestazionale decay.

Enable Dram 4K-Page Mode [Enabled/Disabled]

K-Page qualifies the memory for working 4 in the mode. If the RAM supports the teclologia to 64 MBit one will have a prestazionale visible increase, together with the other settaggi on the memory. For the prestazionale increase the same speech as the '4-Way Interleave' is worth. Do not activate if the memory is of old conception.

RAM Clock

Set the memory ram frequency. For instance, the old memories SDRAM Pc 100 were going to the same speed as the bus (100 MHz). If the memory is of the type SDRAM PC133 the speed can be equal to the system (133 MHz) bus or, with a system bus to 100 MHz, PCI Bus can be equal to the+system bus ( 100+33 = 133 ). Therefore the speed of the memory is independent from that of the processor. If instead the memory is of the type DDR Pc 2100, his frequency will be equal to the system (266 FSB) bus. Obviously a greater frequency increases the exchanged flow data and decreases the time of access, reducing the latency. Setting up the ad hoc memory really many benefits will be obtained, especially in more complex applications and the games 3 d. Some Pc133 memories hold a frequency of 150 MHz, beating in performances the several performanti DDR Pc2100. However in this case the processor, chipset and the other cards must hold this settings out specification. A setting 'to the limit' or out specification with memories of low quality and with ventilation is therefore not recommended of houses insufficient.
