2.4 CPU VOLTAGE
2.4.1 CPU VOLTAGE AUTO SELECTION
The CPU voltage auto detection is developed on this motherboard. Set the SW1-1 and 2,
JP5 at OFF position to enable the auto detection.
Note: SW1-1,2 and JP5 should be set at OFF and BIOS “CPU core voltage” as
Auto.

2.4.2 CPU VOLTAGE BIOS SELECTION
The CPU Voltage can be selected through BIOS setup “CPU Core Voltage Selection”.
It can be set as following table:
2.8 Intel MMX (P55C); 6x86L

2.5 CPU EXTERNAL (BUS) FREQUENCY SELECTION
(SW1-6,7,8)
These switches tell the clock generator what frequency to send to the CPU. The Bus
clock times the Bus Ration equals the CPU’s Internal frequency.
2.6 CPU TO BUS FREQUENCY RATION (SW1-3,4,5)
These jumpers set the frequency ration between the Internal frequency of the CPU and
the External frequency (called the Bus clock) within the CPU. These must be set
together with the above jumpers CPU External (Bus) Frequency Selection.
