Chapter 4 Useful Help 4-1 How to Update BIOS Solution1: Updating BIOS under DOS: 1. Prepare a bootable disk. (You may make one by click START click RUN type SYS click OK) 2. Download upgrade tools and the latest BIOS files of the motherboard from official website and then make a copy of it to your bootable floppy disk after decompressing these files 3. - Page 17 Appendix I Power Supply Mold and FAN Solution Subject 1: Regarding the Application of 3-Phase or 3+1 Phase Power Supply Mold As a result of the increasing power consumption demand from many AMD CPUs in current market, we suggest not to use a CPU that demands more than 65W power consumption at work for an AMD CPU compliant board that comes with power supply design as 3 phase or 3+1 phase mold and MOSFET design as working in...
- Page 18 Solution： We recommend users choose motherboards with power design of 4-phase, 4+1 phase or more for CPUs that demand 89W or 95W power consumption. We recommend users choose motherboards with power design of 5-phase, 5+1 phase or more for CPUs that demand 125W or 140W power consumption. Subject 2: Suggestion on choosing electric fan Both the amount of electric current to MOSFET and the heat produced from the motherboard go up as AMD’s CPU power...
