Bios help

Post by Iceblade »

I wanna tweak my bios, what should I change :?:



My bios:
advanced bios features
CPU L1 CACHE - enabled
CPU L2 CACHE - enabled
APIC MODE - enabled
MPS VERSION CONTROL FOR OS - 1.4
HDD S.M.A.R.T CABABILITY - enabled


advanced chipset features
CPU ITERFACE -optimal
MEMORY TIMINGS -optimal
AGP APERTURE SIZE -128mb
AGP 8x SUPPORT -enabled
AGP FAST WRITE CAPABILITY -enabled
CPU THERMAL THROTTLING -50.0%
SYSTEM BIOS CACHEABLE -disabled
VIDEO RAM CACHEBLE -disabled


pc health status
CURRENT SYSTEM TEMP -44c/111f
CURRENT CPU TEMP -42c/107f
CPU FAN SPEED -4326rpm
CHASSIS FAN SPEED -2556rpm
+3.3V - 3.29V
+5V - 5.10V
+12V - 12.16V
-12V - -12.03V
VBAT(V) - 3.24V
5VSB(V) - 5.06V


GENIE BIOS SETTING
CURRENT CPU FREGUENCY IS 1916
CPU CLOCK SPEAD SPECTRUM - disabled
AGP CLOCK SPREAD SPECCTRUM - disabled
CPU CLOCK SETTINGS - 166mhz
AGP CLOCK SETTINGS - auto
CPU RATIO -default
DDR DRAM CLOCK - by spd
CURRENT DDR FREGUENCY 200mhz

CURRENT CPU VOLTAGE IS - 1.66V
CURRENT DIMM VOLTAGE IS - 2.66V

CPU VOLTAGE CONTROL - auto
AGP VOLTAGE CONTROL auto
CHIPSET VOLTAGE CONTROL - auto
DRAM VOLTAGE CONTROL - auto





Could you guys/girls copy and paste my bios with your advice added, like this:

advanced chipset features
CPU ITERFACE -optimal [agressive]
MEMORY TIMINGS -optimal [agressive]
AGP APERTURE SIZE -128mb [ set to 256]
AGP 8x SUPPORT -enabled [ok]
AGP FAST WRITE CAPABILITY -enabled [ok]
CPU THERMAL THROTTLING -50.0% [disable]
SYSTEM BIOS CACHEABLE -disabled [ok]
VIDEO RAM CACHEBLE -disabled [ok]


I have a Barton 2600+
FSB333
DDR400 2x256 in dual channel
DFI lanparty ULTRA400 ref b

Just a few questions on this Flytek, I know why HDD SMART is but why disable it? I though caching the system BIOS increased performance so why should it be disabled?

As for the memory timings set it on manual and try it on 2.5 - 3 - 3 - 10, I can't remember their name's right now. But teh 2.5 is for Clock Latency, the others I'll try find out their names if you dunno which ones to change.

im with azgard there

just a question flytek, with 3d cards nowadays, why would you bother pushing the agp aperature size up to 128mb when most 3d cards have their own memory in excess of 64mb.....i would drop the apperature size to 64mb from 128mb, which in turn freeze up valuable memory when nailing the demanding apps, i doubt any card bought from 2000 and on needs such a large apperature,

before messing with the bus and multipliers as well as the cpu voltage try drop that cpu temp to around 35~38 before the clock, the last thing you want is a barton running in the region of 55~60 degrees, (add extra high rpm fans, fan cards, tidy case, etc)

my guess......

iceblade, that machine must be humming with a cpu fan at +4000rpm, hate to be round that thing when it takes off

Still standard fan and it's actually kinda silent :wink:

About the agp Aperture size, This field determines exactly how much of your system RAM is to be made available to your graphics card in case it needs it.Set it to half your system RAM - it won't be touched unless needed ( as per article in PCF )

My case is tidy, but small, the A-Open cases are small , so I wanna sell mine and buy a bigger case for nice mod project :wink:
