Detailed instructions for adding BIOS options to the motherboard

With the upgrade of the motherboard, the BIOS options of the motherboard are also being adjusted accordingly. In order to help you understand the function of these new options and give full play to the performance of the motherboard, we have selected some options to explain in detail.

CPU settings

CPU Hyper-Threading or Hyper-Threading Function (Disabled/Enabled)

CPU Hyper-Threading or Hyper-Threading Function refers to the hyper-threading technology of Intel's new Pentium 4 processor. This advanced technology can effectively improve the resource utilization of the processor. However, this new technology only has a new operating system? For example, versions above Microsoft Windows XP and Linux kernel can be well supported in systems above 2.4.xx and software optimized for them. Run some old operating systems after turning on hyper-threading? For example, Windows 98 and some software may have some abnormal phenomena. At this time, we need to turn off the hyper-threading technology of the new Pentium 4 processor to adapt to the old version of the operating system or software. The above options are disabled and enabled.

MPS version (1.11.4)

Mps (multiprocessor specification) revision (1.11.4) multiprocessor specification version options. This option allows users to choose a multiprocessor specification version according to their own operating system. This option is valid only if there are two or more physical or logical processors in the system. 1. 1 is applicable to Microsoft Windows NT, Windows 98 and earlier operating systems, and 1.4 is applicable to Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP and later operating systems.

CPU thermal regulation (12.5%~87.5%)

CPU cooling processor cooling options. Now the processor's frequency and power consumption are getting higher and higher, and its calorific value is getting higher and higher. In order to better protect the processor from being burned and prolong the life of the processor, many motherboards have added this function. When the motherboard detects that the temperature of the processor is too high, this function will automatically start, and the processor will be forced to be in idle mode, which is what we usually call frequency reduction. 12.5% to 87.5% in the option is to set the percentage of processor idle time to the total running time of the processor. The higher the set percentage, the faster the processor temperature drops.

Spread spectrum (enabled/disabled)

Spread spectrum, spread spectrum function. When the clock generator on the motherboard works, the peak of the pulse will produce electromagnetic interference (EMI). The frequency spread function can reduce the electromagnetic interference generated by the pulse generator. When there is no electromagnetic interference problem, this item should be set to disabled, which can optimize the system performance and stability. Otherwise, set this item to enable, which can reduce electromagnetic interference. When overclocking the processor, this item must be set to be disabled, because even a slight peak drift will introduce a short burst of clock speed, which will cause the overclocked processor to be locked.

Graphics card settings

AGP driving control (automatic/manual)

AGP drive control is used to set the drive current signal strength between the graphics card and the motherboard North Bridge chip. Under normal circumstances, the BIOS is set to Auto by default, and the signal strength of driving current is automatically controlled by the motherboard. However, when some graphics cards work under high load, they need stronger driving current to work normally. At this time, you can choose to manually set the intensity of the driving signal, thus changing the stability of the graphics card. However, it is best to set this option by professionals, because setting this option incorrectly may cause damage to the graphics card.

Call VGA BIOS again when S3 resumes (enable/disable)

Call VGA BIOS again at S3 to recover from STR? When the sleep state of S3 mode wakes up, you can use VGA BIOS information to initialize the graphics card options. Before adding this function option on the motherboard, when the system wakes up from STR mode, the graphics card is initialized by the graphics card driver. This will cause the phenomenon that you can't wake up normally when using some video card driver versions because of the difference of video card driver versions. Allowing VGA BIOS information to initialize the graphics card can avoid the above problems. Pure mountain? It was caught.

Memory setting

Memory smart supercharger (enabled/disabled) and memory Turbo mode (auto /Turbo).

Memory smart supercharger and memory turbo mode options are unique to i875P and i865PE. These two options are related to the long-hyped PAT technology of Intel. Theoretically, turn on the memory acceleration mode on the motherboards of i875P and i865PE chipsets? PAT will improve memory performance by 3%~5%. However, in order to use the memory acceleration mode, a new Pentium 4 processor with DDR400 memory and 800MHz front-side bus must be equipped. However, turning on these functions may reduce the stability of the system, especially on the motherboard of the i865PE chipset, because Intel officially did not add PAT to the i865PE chipset. At present, the PAT technology of i865PE chipset motherboards such as ASUS, Gigabyte and MSI are all modified and designed by the manufacturers themselves.

S-ATA hard disk settings

S-ATA port 0? 1 is configured as (IDE Pri.Master/IDE Pri.Slave/IDE Sec.Master/IDE Sec.Slave/SATA port 0/SATA port 1).

S-ATA port 0? 1 is configured as an option for switching between S-ATA and P-ATA hard disk channels. At present, ICH5 has some restrictions on supporting S-ATA. After installing the S-ATA hard disk under the BIOS optimization default value, the S-ATA hard disk channel will occupy the whole main ide interface resources, and the P-ATA device will not be used regardless of whether it is connected to the master or slave of the main IDE interface. At this time, only P-ATA devices can be moved to the auxiliary IDE interface for normal use. If you need to install the operating system on the P-ATA hard disk, you should also use the S-ATA hard disk. At this point, you can change the configuration of S-ATA port 0 as an option from "IDE Pri". Host "to" s-ataport0 "in the BIOS. To start using the S-ATA hard disk, this option is reversed and the P-ATA hard disk is moved to the auxiliary IDE interface.

Other settings

Chassis intrusion (log/log? Notify once/record? Notify until cleared)

Chassis intrusion is a record used for chassis intrusion monitoring. If the chassis has been opened, the BIOS will give an alarm when the computer is restarted. But it depends on the specific settings. If this item is set to "Log", the monitoring system will only record the information that the chassis has been invaded, and will not give an alarm. If this item is set to "record and notify once", the monitoring system will not only record the information that the chassis has been invaded, but also give an alarm. If this item is set to "Record". Notiy til cleared ",then after the monitoring system records the information that the chassis has been invaded, it will call the police until the record is cleared.

C. Gigabit Ethernet in the United States (automatic/disabled)

C. Gigabit Ethernet is used to set whether the Gigabit Ethernet function of communication flow architecture is allowed. At present, both i875P and i865PE chipsets provide an interface called communication flow architecture to correspond to Gigabit Ethernet, because gigabit network speed cannot be achieved on the traditional PCI bus. If automatic control selects automatic, if off, select disabled.
