Caution: refers to important information that can help you to use motherboard better, and tells you how to avoid problems. Warning: indicating a potential risk of hardware damage or physical injury may exist. NING AR ! [. . . ] Simple Mode : To select which message of system settings are to be displayed in the Simple Mode. Messages such as CPU frequency, voltage. . . etc. , they can be displayed one by one in Simple Mode. Calibration (FOX Intelligent Stepping, Optional) This function will re-calibrate the CPU's loading, and it may take several minutes to proceed. The FOX ONE calibration process will apply different loadings to your CPU, record PWM IC voltage together with the CPU clock running at these loadings, so it can define and estimate within a particular range of system loading, what the CPU clock should be. 51 51 Step 1 : Click Calibration icon, a message pops out to ask for continue. Select Yes. 4 Step 2 : After data is collected, it will ask you to restart your computer now. feature (in CPU Page) is also enabled, FOX ONE will automatically adjust your CPU clock according to your system loadings. CPU Page - CPU Control This page lets you select (or overclock) CPU clock to meet the current performance level of the system. The fastest and suitable CPU clock running for current system can be calculated by FOX ONE automatically or manually input by yourselves. Auto : Click this button to let FOX ONE check the highest CPU clock you can use. System will raise the CPU clock step by step until it hangs, you can then push the RESET button on your PC panel to restart the system. When system restarts, run FOX ONE again, it will display a recommended highest CPU clock for you, click <Yes> to apply it. 4 Go to CPU page Adjust by manual Press Auto button to let FOX ONE check the highest CPU clock you can use. Reset the changes FIS Features : Apply the Select the different changes benchmarks A message informs you to push RESET button later if the system hangs finally. Click Yes to continue. 53 53 You can see the system is raising CPU clock until the system hangs. Push RESET button on the front panel of your system to restart the computer. 4 Run FOX ONE program again, it will inform you the previous test found that 255MHz is the recommended CPU clock for your system. Click Yes to apply it to your system. Now, your system is running at a CPU clock of 255MHz. 54 54 FOX Intelligent Stepping (F. I. S. , Optional) Select FOX Intelligent Stepping will allow your system to automatically adjust your CPU clock rate based on different system loadings. For example, if you select Power Gaming, CPU clock will be driven to run at its maximum speed. The four benchmarks - Power Gaming, Data Mining, Office and Energy Saving, the references of their system loading were calculated and defined in the FIS Calibration option of Configuration menu. Select Auto, CPU will automatically adjust its clock according to current system loading. 4 3. Frequency Page - Frequency Control This page lets you set memory and PCI Express frequencies by manual. Go to Freq. page Close this page Select the option you want to set Adjust by manual Reset the changes Apply the changes 55 55 4. Limit Setting 4. 1 Limit Setting - CPU Temperature This page lets you to set CPU high limit temperature and enable the alert function. Go to Limit Setting page Show current CPU temperature value Enable alert function when the CPU temperature is higher than high limit value Show current high limit value of the CPU temperature 4 Set high limit by dragging the lever 4. 2 Limit Setting - System Temperature This page lets you to set system high limit temperature and enable the alert function. Show current system temperature value Enable alert function when the system temperature is higher than high limit value Show current high limit value of system temperature Set high limit by dragging the lever 56 56 4. 3 Limit Setting - CPU Fan This page lets you to set CPU fan low limit rpm and enable the alert function. Show current CPU fan rpm value Enable alert function when the CPU fan runs slower than the low limit rpm value Show current low limit rpm value of CPU fan 4 Set low limit rpm by dragging the lever 4. 4 Limit Setting - System Fan This page lets you to set system fan low limit rpm and enable the alert function. Show current system fan rpm value Enable alert function when the system fan runs slower than low limit rpm value Show current low limit rpm value of system fan Set low limit rpm by dragging the lever 57 57 4. 5 Limit Setting - FAN1 Fan This page lets you to set FAN1 fan low limit rpm and enable the alert function. [. . . ] Only when construct CrossFireTM at PCI-E1_x16 and PCI-E2_x16 slots, you can get x16 mode, otherwise all the slots will work at x8 mode. The all new Radeon X1300 and X1600 graphics cards do not need a CrossFireTM Edition co-processor or external cable. For double size VGA card, only two way CrossFireXTM is supported due to space limitation. 111 Appendix - NVIDIA slITM Technology 1. Introduction NVIDIA SLITM (Scalable Link Interface) technology takes advantage of the increased bandwidth of the PCI ExpressTM bus architecture, and features intelligent hardware and software solutions to deliver earth-shattering PC performance in a multi NVIDIA GPU solution. CA UT IO N ! In Dual SLI mode, it needs two identical SLI-ready graphics cards. [. . . ]
