The AMI BIOS setup Tutorial

For a computer-addicted user, the greatest pleasure is to discover the potential of the computer, understand some of the computer technology, the computer's BIOS settings for many of the first computer users is very abstruse, and even some of the old computer user does not know the BIOS, Because the computer BIOS involves a lot of computer internal hardware and performance margin settings, for the general people who do not understand the computer has a certain degree of danger, coupled with the general BIOS inside are English, this is good for English people have no problem, but this is China, there are many people do not understand English, So a lot of people dare not tread lightly! In order to solve all of these puzzles, I use the free time to the BIOS settings to explain to everyone to see, I hope to give some help to some people! But because personal knowledge is limited, there may be some omission or incorrect explanation, please come together to discuss correct! Thank you for your support!

I've been looking for two BIOS computers: ASUS ' AMI BIOS and award BIOS, which is also the current two mainstream bios, and a different brand of motherboards, and their BIOS is similar to the functions and settings of both bios, But generally different motherboards and the same brand of different models of the motherboard, their BIOS is still different, so the general bios of different models motherboards can not be universal!

Take the Asus AMI BIOS as an example to introduce the AMI BIOS settings:

When you turn on the computer or restart your computer, when the screen is displayed below, press the "Del" key to enter the BIOS setup interface.

Note that if you press too late, the computer will start the system, only to restart the computer. You can press and hold the DELETE key immediately after power-on until you enter the BIOS. Some brand machine is presses F1 to enter the BIOS setting, here please everybody attention!

After entering, you can use the arrow keys to move the cursor to select the BIOS setup interface options, and then press enter into the submenu, with the ESC key to return to the main list, with Page up and PAGE DOWN key or up and down (↑↓) direction key to select the specific options enter the return to confirm the choice, The F10 key retains and exits the BIOS setup.

The next step is to officially enter the BIOS settings!

First we will see (Figure 2)

One. Main (standard setting)

This menu allows you to set the basic system configuration. such as time, date and so on.

Figure 2

which

Primary/secondary IDE Master/slave is from the Primary IDE appliance.

If your motherboard supports SATA connectors There will be Third/fourth IDE Mastert or more, they manage each of the IDE drivers, such as hard disk, CD-ROM, etc. because each motherboard has different settings, this is not explained in detail here. But these generally do not use the user to set up, generally with the default can be, if there is a special request, the user is advised to control the description of the instructions to set up, or a separate question in the forum!

System Information

This is to show the basic hardware information of the system, there is nothing to talk about (Fig. 3)

Figure 3

Basic settings to get into the advanced settings!

Two. Advanced (advanced setting) as shown in Figure 4:

Figure 4

Here is the BIOS of the core settings, the Novice must be careful settings, because of its direct relationship to the stability of the system and hardware security, must not blindly set!

1. We first see the "Jumperfree Configuration" (different brands of the motherboard may be different, or may not) here can be set some parameters of the CPU, for like overclocking friends here is the main attack! (as pictured)

You can see that there is an "AI overclock tumer" option, which has some options, such as the above, which also take "Manual" as the key, after the selection will see the following figure:

For CPU overclocking enthusiasts these things should be well known, CPU FSB settings (CPU External Frequency) is one of the keys to overclocking, CPU frequency (that is, we usually say the P4 3.0G and so on) is by the FSB and multiplier of the value of the results, For example, a 3.0G CPU in FSB 200 when his frequency is, (200mhz*15=3000mhz). The FSB can generally be set to 100MHz to 400MHz, but can really 300 of the CPU is not much, so do not blindly set a high FSB, the general setting of about 100-250, the user should have patience in the setting of a little heightening, preferably 1MHz for stepping, a little plus, In case of a one-time add to excessive and cause the system can not be used properly even CPU damage!

Memory frequency setting (DRAM Frequency) Use this to set the clock for the installed memory, set the option to: 200MHz, 266mhz,333mhz, 400MHz, Auto.

AGP/PCI Device frequency setting (Agp/pci Frequency), this project can modify the frequency of operation of AGP/PCI equipment to obtain faster system performance or overclocking properties, set values are: [auto],[66.66/33.33],[72.73/ 36.36]. However, please set the user properly, if improper setting may cause the AGP/PCI device can not be used properly!

Voltage settings do not have to say, is to set the operating voltage of equipment, the general user should not be easily modified to prevent the equipment because the voltage is not correct and damage! That is, the user to modify also must not blindly modify the way to step into a little pressure, the highest value is best not to exceed
