BIOS Setup 3-5
When you change your CPU:
This motherboard has been designed in such a way that you can turn the system on after having inserted a
CPU in the socket without having to configure any jumpers or DIP switches. If you change your CPU,
normally you just have to turn off the power supply, change the CPU and then set up the CPU parameters
™
through SoftMenu III. However, if the new CPU is slower than the old one (and is the same brand and
type), we offer you two methods to successfully complete the CPU change operation.
Method 1: Setup up the CPU for the lowest speed for its brand. Turn the power supply off and change the
™
CPU. Then turn the system on again, and set up the CPU parameters through SoftMenu
III.
Method 2: Since you have to open the computer case when you change the CPU, it would be a good idea
to use the CMOS clearing jumper to erase the parameters of the original CPU and to enter BIOS Setup to
set up CPU parameters again.
ATTENTION: After setting up the parameters and leaving the BIOS SETUP, and having verified that
the system can be booted, do not press the Reset button or turn off the power supply. Otherwise the BIOS
™
will not read correctly, the parameters will fail and you must enter SoftMenu III again to set up the
parameters all over again.
CPU Core Voltage:
This item selects the CPU core voltage.
ATTENTION: A wrong voltage setting may cause the system unstable or even damage the CPU. Please
leave it to default settings unless you are fully aware of its consequences.
DRAM Voltage:
This item selects the voltage for DRAM slot.
AGP Voltage (For BE7-G, BE7-S, and BE7-B):
This item selects the voltage for AGP slot.
