3.10 Load Setup Defaults

The "Load Setup Defaults" option loads optimized settings for optimum

system performance. Optimal settings are relatively safer than the Turbo

settings. All the product verification, compatibility/reliability test report and

manufacture quality control are based on "Load Setup Defaults". We

recommend that you use this settings for normal operation. "Load Setup

Defaults" is not the slowest setting for this motherboard. If you need to verify

an unstable problem, you may manually set the parameter in the "BIOS

Features Setup" and "Chipset Features Setup" to get slowest and safer

setting.

The "Load Turbo Defaults" option gives better performance than "Load Setup

Defaults". It is provided for the convenience of power user who wants to push

the motherboard to get better performance. Turbo setting does not go though

all the detail reliability and compatibility test, it is tested only with limited

configuration and loading (for example, a system that contains only a VGA

card and two DIMMs). Use Turbo setting only when you fully understand the

items in Chipset Setup menu. The performance improvement of Turbo setting

is normally around 3% to 5%, depending on the chipset and the application.
