[. . . ] (Default: Enabled) && C6 Mode  Allows you to determine whether to let the CPU enter C6 mode in system halt state. When enabled, the CPU core frequency will be reduced during system halt state to decrease power consumption. (Default: Enabled) && CPU core Control 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) && APM Enables or disables Application Power Management. (Default: Enabled) (Default: Enabled) && Extreme Memory Profile (X. M. P. ) (Note 2) Allows the BIOS to read the SPD data on XMP memory module(s) to enhance memory performance when enabled.  Allows the BIOS to read the SPD data on AMP memory module(s) to enhance memory performance when enabled. (Default: Auto) This value is automatically adjusted according to the BCLK/PCIe Clock Control and System Memory Multiplier settings. && AMD Memory Profile (A. M. P. ) (Note 2) && System Memory Multiplier && Memory Frequency (MHz) `` Advanced Memory Settings &&  xtreme Memory Profile (X. M. P. ) (Note 2), System Memory Multiplier, Memory E Frequency(MHz) The settings above are synchronous to those under the same items on the Advanced Frequency Settings menu. (Note 1) This item is present only when you install a CPU that supports this feature. (Note 2) This item is present only when you install a CPU and a memory module that support this feature. - 19 - && DRAM Timing Selectable && Profile DDR Voltage Quick and Expert allows the memory timing settings below to be configurable. When using a non-XMP memory module or Extreme Memory Profile (X. M. P. ) is set to Disabled, this item will display as 1. 50V. When Extreme Memory Profile (X. M. P. ) is set to Profile1 or Profile2, this item will display the value based on the SPD data on the XMP memory. Enabled allows the system to simultaneously access different channels of the memory to increase memory performance and stability. Enabled allows the system to simultaneously access different ranks of the memory to increase memory performance and stability. (Default: Enabled) && Profile VTT Voltage && Channel Interleaving && Rank Interleaving `` Channel A/B Timing Settings This sub-menu provides memory timing settings for each channel of memory. The respective timing setting screens are configurable only when DRAM Timing Selectable is set to Quick or Expert. Note: Your system may become unstable or fail to boot after you make changes on the memory timings. If this occurs, please reset the board to default values by loading optimized defaults or clearing the CMOS values. `` Advanced Voltage Settings `` PC Health Status && Reset Case Open Status This sub-menu allows you to set CPU, chipset and memory voltages. && Case Open Disabled  Keeps or clears the record of previous chassis intrusion status. (Default) Enabled   Clears the record of previous chassis intrusion status and the Case Open field will show "No" at next boot. Displays the detection status of the chassis intrusion detection device attached to the motherboard CI header. If the system chassis cover is removed, this field will show "Yes", otherwise it will show "No". 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 Fan Speed Displays current CPU/system temperature. [. . . ] RAID driver for Windows 8 32-bit: Hw8\RAID\x86 RAID driver for Windows 8 64-bit: Hw8\RAID\x64 AHCI driver for Windows 8 32-bit: Hw8\AHCI\W8 AHCI driver for Windows 8 64-bit: Hw8\AHCI\W864A After loading the driver, continue the OS installation. Chapter 4 Drivers Installation •• Before installing the drivers, first install the operating system. •• After installing the operating system, insert the motherboard driver disk into your optical drive. The driver Autorun screen is automatically displayed which looks like that shown in the screen shot below. (If the driver Autorun screen does not appear automatically, go to My Computer, double-click the optical drive and execute the Run. exe program. ) After inserting the driver disk, "Xpress Install" will automatically scan your system and then list all the drivers that are recommended to install.
