Quick BIOS Setup
This Motherboard does not require any hardware jumpers to set the CPU frequency. Instead,
CPU settings are software configurable through the BIOS

your system. They are all in one menu to enable a quick setup in BIOS.
After completion of hardware installation, turn the power switch on, then press the

key
while the system diagnostic is checking to enter the Award BIOS Setup program. The CMOS
SETUP UTILITY will be displayed on screen. Then follow these steps to configure the CPU
settings.
Step 1. Select [Standard CMOS Features]
