Chapter 2. BIOS Setup
Introduction
This section describes PHOENIX-AWARD™ BIOS Setup program. The Setup program allows users
to modify the basic system configuration. The configuration information is then saved to CMOS
RAM where the data is sustained by battery after power-down.
The BIOS provides critical low-level support for standard devices such as disk drives, serial ports
and parallel ports. As well, the BIOS controls the first stage of the boot process, loading and
executing the operating system.
The PHOENIX-AWARDTM BIOS installed in your computer system’s ROM is a custom version of
an industry standard BIOS. This means that it supports the BIOS of Intel® based processors.
This version of the PHOENIX-AWARDTM BIOS includes additional features such as virus and
password protection as well as special configurations for fine-tuning the system chipset. The defaults
for the BIOS values contained in this document may vary slightly with the version installed in your
system.
Plug and Play Support

This item displays the CPU Host Frequency. You can set this field to a maximum of 255 (or 550 with
the CPU which has the CPU clock is 200 MHz.). The minimum setting is determined by the CPU
that you have installed.
CPU Clock Ratio 8X
When you enable this field, the CPU clock ratio is fixed at “8X” and overrides the entry for the “CPU
Clock Ratio” field (see “CPU Clock Ratio” field). The CPU clock ratio is used, in part, to determine
the CPU clock speed (CPU clock speed = CPU clock ratio * CPU Host Frequency). It has been
shown that a higher “CPU Host Frequency” and a lower “CPU Clock Ratio” is more desirable when
calculating a desired CPU clock speed. This field allows you to set the CPU clock ratio to a lower
than usual value (8X), allowing you to use higher “CPU Host Frequency” values.
When you disable this field, the CPU clock ratio will be determined by the “CPU Clock Ratio” field.

Options: Enabled (default)、Disabled
AGP/PCI/SRC Speed Setting
This item determines the AGP, PCI and SRC frequencies (speed settings). You can set these
frequencies using the supplied BIOS options. One of the options available to you is “Auto, Auto,
Auto”. Using the “Auto, Auto, Auto” option will instruct the system to automatically calculate these
frequencies based on the factory default “CPU Host Frequency” setting, the current “CPU Host
Frequency” setting and the formulas in the table below. Note that the factory default “CPU Host
Frequency” is the value of the “CPU Host Frequency” when you first received your system.

To determine your new frequencies, you must first take the factory default “CPU Host Frequency”
and then determine the corresponding formulas according to the table above. Second, take the current
“CPU Host Frequency” setting and apply it to the formulas to arrive at your new frequencies.
For example, if your factory default “CPU Host Frequency” was 100, and you reset the “CPU Host
Frequency” to 133, your AGP, PCI and SRC frequencies will be as follows:
AGP Frequency = 133 / 1.5 = 88.67
PCI Frequency = 133 / 3
SRC Frequency = 133 / 1
= 44.33
= 133.0

Appendix I: Over Clocking
Important
Before you attempt to overclock your system, we strongly recommend that you obtain a thorough
understanding of all of the variables, procedures, and the potential risks associated with overclocking.
Because we cannot control of all of the possible variables that exist (i.e. memory, AGP card, user
configurations, cooling apparatus etc), we cannot assume responsibility from damage to any
components of your system due to overclocking.
What is overclocking?
Overclocking is accelerating the processing speed of certain components of your system above and
beyond what those components were rated for. With this mainboard, depending on the model, you
may be able to overclock some or all of the following:
‹
‹
‹
‹
‹
‹
CPU Speed
FSB (Front Side Bus) frequency
DDR (Memory) frequency
AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) frequency
PCI (Peripheral Connect Interface) frequency
SRC (Serial Reference Clock) frequency
How to calculate your new frequencies.
With this mainboard, the frequencies mentioned above are calculated using individual formulas.
These formulas have a single “CPU Host Frequency” in common. For each of the items above there
is also a multiplier or a divisor that is applied to the “CPU Host Frequency” to determine the final
frequency for each component as shown in the following formulas.
CPU Speed

AGP divisor
FSB frequency

AGP frequency
PCI frequency
SRC frequency
/
PCI divisor
/
SRC divisor
Configuring your system for overclocking is simply understanding the formulas above and going into
the BIOS Setup Utility and changing “DDR:CPU Ratio”, “CPU Clock Ratio” and “CPU Host
Frequency”.
Note that the FSB multiplier for Intel based mainboards will always be fixed at 4. The AGP, PCI and
SRC frequencies are all determined by the BIOS setting AGP/ PCI/ SRC Speed Setting.
45
PX865PEL-800
How to configure your new frequencies.
As mentioned you must enter the BIOS Setup Utility in order to begin configuring overclocking
parameters. After you reboot your system, press the “Del” key when prompted to enter the BIOS
Setup Utility. The parameters for overclocking will be found in the “Advanced” screen as part of the
“Frequency/Voltage Control” section. (The pictures below are for you reference.)
BIOS Setup Utility Overclocking Variables
The following items are all variables in the BIOS Setup Utility that are related to overclock
configurations. See the BIOS section for additional information about these fields including available
options.
CPU Clock Ratio
The CPU Clock Ratio is used to determine the CPU Speed. The CPU Clock Ratio may be locked by
the CPU manufacturer. In this case the value will be displayed but will not be configurable.
CPU Host Frequency (MHz)
This field represents the CPU Clock that is used by all of the previously described formulas to arrive
at the individual frequencies (CPU Speed, FSB, DDR, AGP, PCI, SRC).
DDR:CPU Ratio
This field is used to calculate DDR frequency. To calculate the DDR frequency, simply take the
“CPU Host Frequency” and multiply it by this number.
CPU Voltage/ AGP Voltage/ DDR Voltage
As you increase the frequency of your components, the voltages may not be sufficient to support the
faster speeds and you may begin to encounter problems. When you increase voltages it is important
to remember that you will be increasing the heat generated by the chipsets which could result in
damage. So it is recommended that you slowly increase these values in the increments provided by
the BIOS Setup Utility. The CPU, AGP and DDR all have individual configurable voltage options.
Spread Spectrum
We recommend that you disable this function before you overclock your system.
46
PX865PEL-800
AGP/PCI/SRC Speed Setting
This item determines the AGP, PCI and SRC frequencies (speed settings). You can set these
frequencies using the supplied BIOS options. One of the options available to you is “Auto, Auto,
Auto”. Using the “Auto, Auto, Auto” option will instruct the system to automatically calculate these
frequencies based on the factory default “CPU Host Frequency” setting, the current “CPU Host
Frequency” setting and the formulas in the table below. Note that the factory default “CPU Host
Frequency” is the value of the “CPU Host Frequency” when you first received your system.
Factory Default
“CPU Host
Frequency”
Formulas (using the “Auto, Auto, Auto option)
AGP frequency
PCI frequency
SRC frequency
AGP frequency

= current CPU Host Frequency / 3
= current CPU Host Frequency / 1
= current CPU Host Frequency / 2
= current CPU Host Frequency / 4
= current CPU Host Frequency / 1.33
= current CPU Host Frequency / 3
= current CPU Host Frequency / 6
= current CPU Host Frequency / 2
100
133
200
To determine your new frequencies, you must first take the factory default “CPU Host Frequency”
and then determine the corresponding formulas according to the table above. Second, take the current
“CPU Host Frequency” setting and apply it to the formulas to arrive at your new frequencies.
* Your AGP, PCI or SRC devices may begin to malfunction because they are unable to handle
certain speeds that are calculated using the “Auto,Auto,Auto” option, in which case you can fix the
frequencies for these devices using the other available options for this field. And if you want to
overcolock a system with SATA HDDs, we strongly to remind you to fix the AGP/PCI/SRC Speed to
“66.68, 33.34, 100.02”.
Configuration Suggestions
Before attempting overclocking, you should write down all of the default BIOS settings for the
variables described in the previous sections. This is so you can return to the original values if you run
into problems.
The next suggestion is to adjust in small steps and not to increase the options too fast. This is
especially true with Voltage since increasing the voltage can significantly increase temperature. After
adjusting the BIOS settings and rebooting your system, always check the CPU temperatures that are
displayed in the BIOS Setup Utility (HW Section). Tolerable temperatures for your CPU will be
listed with the specifications provided by your CPU manufacturer.
Because increasing voltages is the biggest factor in increasing temperatures, you should only increase
voltages as a last option when your system is continuing to experience problems. When you do
increase the voltages, increase them only one increment at a time.
47
PX865PEL-800
Testing
Even though you have configured your overclocking options and have successfully booted to your
operating system, it doesn’t mean that you have successfully overclocked your system. Testing is an
equally important aspect of overclocking and you must stress your configurations thoroughly to
ensure stability. It is better to discover that your system locks up during testing rather than
experiencing the same while editing valuable information.
There are several utility programs designed specifically for intensive hardware configuration testing
such as 3Dmark2001SE and Winstone. With every configuration adjustment you should rerun your
utilities. Testing is a time consuming procedure. Again, it is not within the scope of this document to
discuss testing utilities in detail. You can find additional information on the Web.
Cooling the components on your mainboard.
Proper cooling is one the most important aspects of overclocking. Cooling refers to the cooling fans,
heat sinks, and thermal material/grease that are used. When overclocking, it is highly recommended
that you acquire a large powerful cooling fan with a heavy duty heat sink. Also make sure that you
apply certified thermal material between the CPU and heatsink. It is also recommended that you
make use of all of the fan attachments and make sure that cable clutter within the casing is kept to a
minimum. It is beyond the scope of this document to explain cooling equipment in detail so we
recommend that you consult the Web for more information. CPU manufacturers may also have a list
of recommended, certified cooling equipment.
The Watch Dog Timer
Some mainboards come with a special feature called the Watch Dog Timer used to simplify the
process of experimenting with overclocking. When you go too far with your overclocking
configurations there is a chance that your system may become unstable and hang. Even after a reboot,
the system may hang before you can even reach the BIOS Setup Utility to lower your settings. The
usual procedure with most Mainboards is to open up your case and reset a CMOS jumper on the
mainboard to restore the original default settings which can be a cumbersome activity when testing.
The Watch Dog Timer however, will monitor the most recent boot information or POST (Power On
Self Test) status to determine if the system booted successfully. If the last POST status was “not
successful”, it will be assumed there were configuration problems and the system will automatically
reset the BIOS configurations which will allow your system to boot again.
