CHAPTER 6: WARPSPEEDER

INT RODUCT ION
[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.

SYST EM 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 you use Windows XP, you do not need to install DirectX 8.1.)

INST ALLAT ION

1. Execute the setup execution file, and then the following dialog will pop up. Please click Next button and follow the default procedure to install.
2. When you see the following 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 you 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

Whenever the Tray Icon utility is launched, it will display a little tray icon on the right side of Windows Taskbar.

1. Tray Icon:

This utility is responsible for conveniently invoking [WarpSpeeder] Utility. You can use the mouse by clicking the left button in order to invoke [WarpSpeeder] directly from the little tray icon or you can right-click the little tray icon to pop up a popup menu as following figure. 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 invoked. Please refer to the following figure; the utilitys first window you will see is Main Panel.
Main Panel contains fe ature s as follows:
a. b. c. Display the CPU Speed, CPU external clock, Memory clock, AGP clock, and PCI clock information. Contains About, Voltage, Overclock, and Hardware Monitor Buttons for invoking respective panels. With a user-friendly Status Animation, it can represent 3 overclock percentage stages: Man walking overclock percentage from 100% ~ 110 % Panther running overclock percentage from 110% ~ 120% Car racing overclock percentage from 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 following figure. In this panel, you can decide to increase CPU core voltage and Memory voltage or not. The default setting is No. If you want to get the best performance of overclocking, we recommend you click the option Yes.

4. Overclock Panel

Click the Overclock button in Main Panel, the button will be highlighted and the Overclock Panel will slide out to left as the following figure.
O ve rclock 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 ov erclocking percentage is over 110 %. We strongly recommend you v erify ev ery speed you overclock by click the Verify button. Or, you can just click Auto ov erclock button and let [WarpSpeeder] automatically gets the best result f or y ou.
Recovery Dialog button: Pop up the following dialog. Let user select a restoring way if system need to do a fail-safe reboot.
K8M800 Micro A M2 Auto-overclock 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 fail. Then system will do fail-safe reboot by using Watchdog function. After reboot, the [WarpSpeeder] utility will restore to the hardware default setting or load the verified best and stable frequency according to the Recovery Dialogs setting. Verify button: User can click this button and [WarpSpeeder] will proceed a testing for current frequency. If the testing is ok, then the current frequency 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 verified best and stable frequency according to the Recovery Dialogs 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 y our display cards color depth is High color (16 bit) or True color( 24/32 bit ) that is required f or Direct3D rendering.

The system time is shortened if you disable the function, but system will need AGP driver to initialize the card. So, if the AGP driver of the VGA card does not support the initialization feature, the display may work abnormally or not function after S3. The Choices: Auto (default), Yes, No.

Ac Loss Auto Restart

This field determines the action the system will automatically take when power is restored to a system that had lost power previously without any subsequent manual intervention. There are 3 sources that provide current to the CMOS area that retains these Power-On instructions; the motherboard battery (3V), the Power Supply (5VSB), and the Power Supply (3.3V). While AC is not supplying power, the motherboard uses the motherboard battery (3V). If AC power is supplied and the Power Supply is not turned on, 5VSB from the Power Supply is used. When the Power Supply is eventually turned on 3.3V from the Power Supply will be used. There are 3 options: Former-Sts, On, Off. Off (default) Means always set CMOS to the Off status when AC power is lost. On Means always set CMOS to the On status when AC power is lost Former-Sts Means to maintain the last status of the CMOS when AC power is lost.
For example: If set to Former-Sts and AC power is lost when system is live, then after AC power is restored, the system will automatically power on. If AC power is lost when system is not live, system will remain powered off.
