Chapter 2 BIOS Setup
BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) includes a CMOS SETUP utility which allows user to configure
required settings or to activate certain system features.
The CMOS SETUP saves the configuration in the CMOS SRAM of the motherboard.
When the power is turned off, the battery on the motherboard supplies the necessary power to the CMOS
SRAM.
When the power is turned on, pushing the <Del> button during the BIOS POST (Power-On Self Test) will
take you to the CMOS SETUP screen. You can enter the BIOS setup screen by pressing "Ctrl + F1".
When setting up BIOS for the first time, it is recommended that you save the current BIOS to a disk in the
event that BIOS needs to be reset to its original settings. If you wish to upgrade to a new BIOS, either
GIGABYTE's Q-Flash or @BIOS utility can be used.
Q-Flash allows the user to quickly and easily update or backup BIOS without entering the operating system.
@BIOS is a Windows-based utility that does not require users to boot to DOS before upgrading BIOS but
directly download and update BIOS from the Internet.

Wrong frequency may make system can't boot, clear CMOS to overcome wrong frequency issue.
for FSB(Front Side Bus) frequency=533MHz,
2.0 Memory Frequency = Host clock X 2.0.
2.5 Memory Frequency = Host clock X 2.5.
Auto Set Memory frequency by DRAM SPD data. (Default value)
for FSB(Front Side Bus) frequency=800MHz,
2.0 Memory Frequency = Host clock X 2.0.
1.66 Memory Frequency = Host clock X 1.66.
1.33 Memory Frequency = Host clock X 1.33.
Auto Set Memory frequency by DRAM SPD data. (Default value)
Memory Frequency (Mhz)
The values depend on "CPU Host Frequency(Mhz)" item.
AGP/PCI/SRC Frequency (Mhz)
The values depend on AGP/PCI/SRC Fixed.
DIMM OverVoltage Control
Please note that by overclocking your system through the increase of the DIMM voltage, damage
to the memory may occur.
Normal Set DIMM OverVoltage Control to Normal. (Default value)
+0.1V Set DIMM OverVoltage Control to +0.1V.
+0.2V Set DIMM OverVoltage Control to +0.2V.
+0.3V Set DIMM OverVoltage Control to +0.3V.
+0.4V Set DIMM OverVoltage Control to +0.4V.
+0.5V Set DIMM OverVoltage Control to +0.5V.
+0.6V Set DIMM OverVoltage Control to +0.6V.
Incorrect using it may cause your system broken. For power End-User use only!
AGP OverVoltage Control
Normal Set AGP OverVoltage Control to Normal. (Default value)
+0.1V Set AGP OverVoltage Control to +0.1V.
+0.2V Set AGP OverVoltage Control to +0.2V.
+0.3V Set AGP OverVoltage Control to +0.3V.
Increase AGP voltage may get stable for Over_Clock. But it may damage to AGP Card when
enable this feature.
FSB OverVoltage Control
Normal Set FSB OverVoltage Control to Normal. (Default value)
+0.1V Set FSB OverVoltage Control to +0.1V.
+0.2V Set FSB OverVoltage Control to +0.2V.
+0.3V Set FSB OverVoltage Control to +0.3V.
CPU Voltage Control
Supports adjustable CPU Vcore from 0.8375V to 1.6000V. (Default value: Normal)
Normal CPU Vcore
Display your CPU Vcore Voltage.

Change/Set/Disable Password
When you select this function, the following message will appear at the center of the screen to assist
you in creating a password.
Type the password, up to eight characters, and press <Enter>. You will be asked to confirm the
password. Type the password again and press <Enter>. You may also press <Esc> to abort the
selection and not enter a password.
To disable password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to enter password. A message
"PASSWORD DISABLED" will appear to confirm the password being disabled. Once the password is
disabled, the system will boot and you can enter Setup freely.
The BIOS Setup program allows you to specify two separate passwords:
SUPERVISOR PASSWORD and a USER PASSWORD. When disabled, anyone may access all BIOS
Setup program function. When enabled, the Supervisor password is required for entering the BIOS
Setup program and having full configuration fields, the User password is required to access only basic
items.
If you select "System" at "Password Check" in Advance BIOS Features Menu, you will be prompted
for the password every time the system is rebooted or any time you try to enter Setup Menu.
If you select "Setup" at "Password Check" in Advance BIOS Features Menu, you will be prompted only
when you try to enter Setup.
