[. . . ] (Default: Auto) Allows you to determine whether unlock hidden CPU cores. (Default: Disabled) L  ets the AMD Cool'n'Quiet driver dynamically adjust the CPU clock and VID to reduce heat output from your computer and its power consumption. (Default) Disables this function. && CPB Ratio (Note) && CPU Unlock && Cool&Quiet Enabled  && C1E Support Disabled  && SVM Enables or disables the C1E CPU power-saving function in system halt state. When enabled, the power consumption will be reduced during system halt state. Enabled If a CPU that supports hardware C1E is installed, the BIOS will automatically enable the  hardware C1E function. Virtualization enhanced by Virtualization Technology will allow a platform to run multiple operating systems and applications in independent partitions. With virtualization, one computer system can function as multiple virtual systems. (Default: Enabled) (Note) This item is present only when you install a CPU that supports this feature. - 24 - && CPU core Control (Note 1) && Core C6 State Allows you to determine whether to manually enable/disable CPU cores. Automatic mode allows the BIOS to enable all CPU cores (number of cores available depends on the CPU being used). (Default: Automatic mode) && HPC Mode (Note 1) Allows you to determine whether to let the CPU enter C6 mode in system halt state. To clear the chassis intrusion status record, set Reset Case Open Status to Enabled, save the settings to the CMOS, and then restart your system. Displays the current system voltages. && CPU Vcore/Dram Voltage/+3. 3V/+5V/+12V && CPU/System Temperature && CPU/System/Power Fan Speed && CPU Warning Temperature Displays current CPU/system temperature. Displays current CPU/system/power fan speed. && CPU/System/Power Fan Fail Warning && CPU Fan Control Mode Sets the warning threshold for CPU temperature. When CPU temperature exceeds the threshold, BIOS will emit warning sound. Options are: Disabled (default), 60oC/140oF, 70oC/158oF, 80oC/176oF, 90oC/194oF. Allows the system to emit warning sound if the CPU/system/power fan is not connected or fails. (Default: Disabled) Auto   Lets the BIOS automatically detect the type of CPU fan installed and sets the optimal CPU fan control mode.  PWM  Sets PWM mode for a 4-pin CPU fan. - 28 - && CPU Fan Speed Control && Slope PWM Allows you to determine whether to enable the CPU fan speed control function and adjust the fan speed. Normal   Allows the CPU fan to run at different speeds according to the CPU temperature. You can adjust the fan speed with EasyTune based on your system requirements. Manual Allows you to control the CPU fan speed under the Slope PWM item. This item is configurable only when CPU Fan Speed Control is set to Manual. [. . . ] 9. Press <Esc> to return to Main Menu and press <Esc> again if you want to exit the RAID BIOS utility. Making a SATA RAID/AHCI Driver Diskette Before installing Windows XP, connect a USB floppy disk drive to your computer first because you need to install the SATA RAID/AHCI driver from a floppy disk that contains the driver during the OS installation. To copy the RAID/AHCI driver for Windows XP, copy all files in the \BootDrv\Hxp folder in the motherboard driver disk to your floppy disk. To install Windows 7/Vista, you also need to install the SATA RAID/AHCI driver during the OS installation. To copy the RAID/AHCI driver for Windows 7, copy the whole Hw7 folder under the BootDrv folder in the motherboard driver disk to a USB flash drive.
