Chapter 4: BIOS Setup
CPU VCore Setting [Auto]
The [Manual] setting allows you to manually select the core voltage
supplied to the CPU (see next item). However, it is recommended that you
keep the default setting [Auto] to allow the system to automatically
determine the appropriate CPU core voltage.
CPU VCore [1.750V]
(for Willamette)
, [1.500V]
(for Northwood)
When the CPU VCore Setting parameter above is set to [Manual], the
CPU VCore item allows you to select a specific CPU core voltage. This
field is not accessible when the CPU VCore Setting is set to [Auto].
Depending on the OVER_VOLT jumper setting (see page 2-21 for the
jumper location and settings), the CPU core voltage options vary for both
Willamette and Northwood processors. See the following table.
CPU Level 1 Cache, CPU Level 2 Cache [Enabled]
These fields allow you to choose from the default [Enabled] or choose
[Disabled] to turn on or off the CPU Level 1 and Level 2 built-in cache.
Configuration options: [Disabled] [Enabled]
BIOS Update [Enabled]
This field functions as an update loader integrated into the BIOS to supply
the processor with the required data. When set to [Enabled], the BIOS
loads the update on all processors during system bootup. Configuration
options: [Disabled] [Enabled]
Refer to the CPU documentation before setting this field. A very high
core voltage may severely damage the CPU!
