TA760G-M2+ - Motherboard BIOSTAR - Free user manual and instructions

USER MANUAL TA760G-M2+ BIOSTAR

The purpose of this manual is to describe the settings in the AMI BIOS Setup program on this motherboard. The Setup program allows users to modify the basic system configuration and save these settings to CMOS RAM. The power of CMOS RAM is supplied by a battery so that it retains the Setup information when the power is turned off.

Basic Input-Output System (BIOS) determines what a computer can do without accessing programs from a disk. This system controls most of the input and output devices such as keyboard, mouse, serial ports and disk drives. BIOS activates at the first stage of the booting process, loading and executing the operating system. Some additional features, such as virus and password protection or chipset fine-tuning options are also included in BIOS.

The rest of this manual will to guide you through the options and settings in BIOS Setup.

The Overclock Navigator provides 3 different engines helping you to overclock your system. These engines will boost your system performance to different level.

Options:

V6 Tech Engine

This engine will make a good over-clock performance.

V8 Tech Engine

This engine will make a better over-clock performance.

V12 Tech Engine

This engine will make a best over-clock performance.

Cautions:

1. Not every AMD CPU performs the above overclock setting ideally; the difference may vary with the installed CPU model.

2. From BET experiment, the Atholon64 FX CPU is not suitable for this A.O.S. feature.
