CHAPTER 5: WARPSPEEDER™

5.1

INTRODUCTION

[WarpSpeeder™], a new powerful control utility, features three

user-friendly functions including Overclock Manager, Overvoltage

Manager, and Hardware Monitor.

With the Overclock Manager, users can easily adjust the frequency they

prefer or they can get the best CPU performance with just one click. The

Overvoltage Manager, on the other hand, helps to power up CPU core

voltage 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.

Moreover, to protect users' computer systems if the setting is not

appropriate when testing and results in system fail 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.
