WarpSpeeder™

Introduction

[ WarpSpeeder™ ], a new powerf ul control utility, f eatures three user-friendly functions

including Ov erclock Manager, Ov ervoltage Manager, and Hardware Monitor.

With the Ov erclock Manager, users can easily adjust the frequency they prefer or they can

get the best CPU perf ormance with just one click. The Ov ervoltage Manager, on the other

hand, helps to power up CPU core v oltage and Memory voltage. The cool Hardware

Monitor smartly indicates the temperatures, voltage and CPU fan speed as well as the

chipset information. Also, in the About panel, you can get detail descriptions about BIOS

model and chipsets. In addition, the frequency status of CPU, memory, AGP and PCI

along with the CPU speed are synchronically shown on our main panel.

Moreov er, to protect users' computer systems if the setting is not appropriate when testing

and results in system f ail or hang, [ WarpSpeeder™ ] technology assures the system

stability by automatically rebooting the computer and then restart to a speed that is either

the original system speed or a suitable one.

System Requirement

OS Support: Windows 98 SE, Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows XP

DirectX: DirectX 8.1 or above. (The Windows XP operating system includes DirectX 8.1. If

y ou use Windows XP, y ou do not need to install DirectX 8.1.)

Installation

1. Execute the setup execution f ile, and then the following dialog will pop up.

Please click “Next” button and f ollow the default procedure to install.

2. When y ou see the f ollowing dialog in setup procedure, it means setup is

completed. If the “Launch the WarpSpeeder Tray Utility ” checkbox is checked,

the Tray Icon utility and [WarpSpeeder™] utility will be automatically and

immediately launched after y ou click “Finish” button.

Usage

The following figures are just only for reference, the screen printed in this user manual will

change according to your motherboard on hand.

[WarpSpeeder™] includes 1 tray icon and 5 panels:

1. Tray Icon:

Whenev er the Tray Icon utility is launched, it will display a little tray icon on the right side of

Windows Taskbar.

This utility is responsible f or conveniently invoking [WarpSpeeder™] Utility. You can use

the mouse by clicking the left button in order to inv oke [WarpSpeeder™] directly from the

little tray icon or you can right-click the little tray icon to pop up a popup menu as following

f igure. The “Launch Utility” item in the popup menu has the same function as mouse

left-click on tray icon and “Exit” item will close Tray Icon utility if selected.

2. Main Panel

If you click the tray icon, [ WarpSpeeder™ ] utility will be inv oked. Please ref er

do the following f igure; the utility’s f irst window y ou will see is Main Panel.

Main Panel contains features as follows:

a. D is play t he C PU Speed, C PU ex t ernal cloc k, Mem ory cloc k, AGP c loc k, and PC I

clock inf ormation.

b. Contains About, Voltage, Overclock, and Hardware Monitor Buttons f or invoking

respective panels.

c. With a user-friendly Status Animation, it can represent 3 ov erclock percentage

stages:

Man walking => ov erclock percentage from 100% ~ 110 %

Panther running => overclock percentage from 110% ~ 120%

Car racing => ov erclock percentage f rom 120% ~ above

3. Voltage Panel

Click the Voltage button in Main Panel, the button will be highlighted and the Voltage

Panel will slide out to up as the f ollowing figure.

In this panel, you can decide to increase CPU core voltage and Memory voltage or not.

The def ault setting is “No”. If y ou want to get the best performance of ov erclocking, we

rec om m end y ou clic k t he option “Y es ”.

4. Overclock Panel

Click the Ov erclock button in Main Panel, the button will be highlighted and the Overclock

Panel will slide out to left as the f ollowing figure.

Overclock Panel contains the these features:

a. “–3MHz button”, “-1MHz button”, “+1MHz button”, and “+3MHz button”: provide user

the ability to do real-time overclock adjustment.

Warning: Manually overclock is potentially dangerous, especially when the

overclocking percentage is over 110 %. We strongly recommend you verify

every speed you overclock by click the Verify button. Or, you can just click

Auto overclock button and let [ WarpSpeeder™ ] automatically gets the best

result for you.

b. “Recovery Dialog button”: Pop up the following dialog. Let user select a restoring

way if system need to do a f ail-safe reboot.

d. “Auto-ov erclock button”: User can click this button and [ WarpSpeeder™ ] will set

the best and stable performance and frequency automatically. [ WarpSpeeder™ ]

utility will execute a series of testing until system f ail. Then system will do f ail-saf e

reboot by using Watchdog f unction. After reboot, the [ WarpSpeeder™ ] utility will

restore to the hardware default setting or load the verif ied best and stable

frequency according to the Recovery Dialog’s setting.

e. “Verify button”: User can click this button and [ WarpSpeeder™ ] will proceed a

testing f or current frequency. If the testing is ok, then the current f requency will be

saved into system registry. If the testing fail, system will do a fail-safe rebooting.

After reboot, the [ WarpSpeeder™ ] utility will restore to the hardware default

setting or load the verif ied best and stable frequency according to the Recovery

Dialog’s setting.

Note: Because the testing programs, invoked in Auto-overclock and Verify,

include DirectDraw , Direct3D and DirectShow tests, the DirectX 8.1 or newer

runtime library is required. And please make sure your display card’s color

depth is High color (16 bit) or True color( 24/32 bit ) that is required for

Direct3D rendering.

5. Hardware Monitor Panel

Click the Hardware Monitor button in Main Panel, the button will be highlighted and the

Hardware Monitor panel will slide out to left as the f ollowing figure.

In this panel, y ou can get the real-time status inf ormation of y our system. The information

will be ref reshed ev ery 1 second.

6. About Panel

Click the About button in Main Panel, the button will be highlighted and the About Panel

will slide out to up as the following f igure.

In this panel, you can get model name and detail inf ormation in hints of all the chipset that

are related to overclocking. You can also get the mainboard’s BIOS model and the

Version number of [ WarpSpeeder™ ] utility.

Note: Because the overclock, overvoltage, and hardware monitor features

are controlled by several separate chipset, [ WarpSpeeder™ ] divide these

features to separate panels. If one chipset is not on board, the correlative

button in Main panel will be disabled, but will not interfere other panels’

functions. This property can make [ WarpSpeeder™ ] utility more robust.

7 PnP/PCI Configurations

This section describes configuring the PCI bus system. PCI, or Personal Computer

Interconnect, is a system which allows I/O devices to operate at speeds nearing the speed of

the CPU itself uses when communicating with its own special components. This section

covers some very technical items and it is strongly recommended that only experienced

users should make any changes to the default settings.

 Figure 7. PnP/PCI Configurations

PNP OS Installed

When set to YES, BIOS will only in itialize the P nP cards used for the boot sequence (VGA,

IDE, SCSI). The rest of the cards will be initialized by the PnP operating system like

Window™ 95. When set to NO, BIOS will init ia lize a ll the P nP cards. For non-P nP

operating systems (DOS, Netware™), this option must set to NO.

The Choices: No (default), Yes.

Reset Configuration Data

The system BIOS supports the PnP feature which requires the system to record which

resources are assigned and protects resources from conflict. Every peripheral device has a

node, which is called ESCD. This node records which resources are assigned to it. The

system needs to record and update ESCD to the memory locations. T hese locations (4K)

are reserved in the system BIOS. If the Disabled (default) option is chosen, the system‘s

ESCD will update only when the new configuration varies from the last one. If the Enabled

M7VIG 400 BIOS Setup

option is chosen, the system is forced to update ESCDs and then is automatically set to the

“Disab led” mode.

The above settings will be shown on the screen only if “Manual” is chosen for the resources

controlled by function.

Legacy is the term, which signifies that a resource is assigned to the ISA Bus and provides

non-PnP ISA add-on cards. PCI / ISA PnP signifies that a resource is assigned to the PCI

Bus or provides for ISA PnP add-on cards and peripherals.

The Choices: Disabled (default), Enabled.

Resources Controlled By

By Choosing “Auto(ESCD)” (default), the system BIOS will detect the system resources

and automatically assign the relative IRQ and DMA channel for each peripheral.By

Choosing “Manual”, the user will need to assign IRQ & DMA for add-on cards. Be sure

that there are no IRQ/DMA and I/O port conflicts.

IRQ Resources

This submenu will allow you to assign each system interrupt a type, depending on the type

of device using the interrupt. When you press the “Press Enter” tag, you will be directed to

a submenu that will allow you to configure the system interrupts. This is only

configurable when “Resources Controlled By” is set to “Manual”.

IRQ-3 assigned to PCI Device

IRQ-4 assigned to PCI Device

IRQ-5 assigned to PCI Device

IRQ-7 assigned to PCI Device

IRQ-9 assigned to PCI Device

IRQ-10 assigned to PCI Device

IRQ-11 assigned to PCI Device

IRQ-12 assigned to PCI Device

IRQ-14 assigned to PCI Device

IRQ-15 assigned to PCI Device

PCI / VGA Palette Snoop

Choose Disabled or Enabled. Some graphic controllers which are not VGA compatible

take the output from a VGA controller and map it to their display as a way to provide boot

information and VGA compatibility.

However, the color information coming from the VGA contro ller is drawn from the palette

table inside the VGA controller to generate the proper colors, and the graphic controller

needs to know what is in the palette of the VGA controller. To do this, the non-VGA

graphic controller watches for the Write access to the VGA palette and registers the snoop

data. In PCI based systems, where the VGA controller is on the PCI bus and a non-VGA

graphic controller is on an ISA bus, the Write Access to the palette will not show up on the

ISA bus if the PCI VGA controller responds to the Write.

M7VIG 400 BIOS Setup

In this case, the P CI VGA controller shou ld not respond to the Write, it should only snoop

the data and permit the access to be forwarded to the ISA bus. The non-VGA ISA graphic

controller can then snoop the data on the ISA bus. Unless you have the above situation,

you should disable this option.

Disabled (default) Disables the function.

Enabled Enables the function.

If unfortunately, the system’s frequency that you are selected is

not functioning, there are two methods of booting-up the system.

Method 1: Clear the COMS data by setting the JCOMS1 ((2-3) closed))

as “ON” status. All the CMOS data will be loaded as

defaults setting.

Method 2: Press the <Insert> key and Power button simultaneously,

after that keep-on pressing the <Insert> key until the

power-on screen showed. This action will boot-up the

system according to FSB of the processor.

※ It’s strongly recommended to set CPU Vcore and clock in

default setting. If the CPU Vcore and clock are not in default

setting, it may cause CPU or M/B damage.
