Left-side: Current system status
In the left sub-menu, you can configure the settings of FSB, Vcore, Memory Voltage
and AGP Voltage by clicking the radio button in front of each item and make it
available (the radio button will be lighted as yellow when selected), use the "+"
and "-" buttons to adjust, then click "OK" to apply the changes. Then you can click
"Save" to save the desired FSB you just configured.
Also you may click "Auto" to start testing the maximum CPU overclocking value. The
CPU FSB will automatically increase the testing value until the PC reboots. Or you
may click "Default" to restore the default values.
Right-side: PC hardware status during real time operation
In the right sub-menu, here you can configure the PC hardware status such as CPU
& system temperatures and fan speeds. You may use the scroll bars to adjust
each item, then click "OK" to apply the changes. The values you set for the
temperatures are the maximum thresholds for the system for warnings, and the
values for fan speeds are the minimum thresholds.
Center-side: User mode/Auto mode
Here you may adjust the CPU fan speed. If you choose User mode, you may adjust
the CPU fan speed in 8 different modes, from High Speed to Low speed. If you
choose Cool'n'Quiet, the system will automatically configure an optimal setting
for you.
MSI Reminds You...
To ensure that Cool'n'Quiet function is activated and will be working
properly, it is required to double confirm that:
1. Check the serial number printed on the top of CPU. On the top of CPU,
there are three lines listed under AMD Athlon
ters of the first line, and locate the last one from those 13 characters.
If the last character is "O" or after "O" (such as P, Q, R, and so on), that
means this CPU supports Cool'n'Quiet function. On the contrary, if
the last character is before
"O", that means this CPU does
n o t s u p p o r t C o o l ' n ' Q u i e t
function.
2. Run BIOS Setup, and select
F r e q u e n c y / V o l t a g e
Control. Under Frequency/
