Manual Tuning

The Manual Tuning option provides the ability to adjust motherboard settings,
adjust CPU settings, and make changes to the BIOS.

Adjust Motherboard Settings

The controls in the

Adjust Motherboard Settings

screen let you adjust the

performance of the system clocks, system voltages, memory controller timings,
and system fans. By manually adjusting these speeds you are able to either
increase performance for gaming, or reduce performance to conserve power
and create a quieter environment.

Figure 19 shows the Adjust Motherboard Settings screen. Note that as you pass
the cursor over the various adjustments, notes display at the bottom of the
screen to explain each setting.

The number to the right of the slider is the new bus speed that will be applied.
Make adjustments by using the mouse to drag the slider. All changes take effect
immediately after selecting

Apply

; however, these setting only remain active for

the current Windows session. This allows you to safely return to Windows if a
crash occurs, with no possibility of boot issues since the changes are not made
directly to the BIOS settings.

Note:

All changes on

Adjust Motherboard Settings

are dynamically made when you

apply them, and only remain active for the current Windows session. You can
save these settings as a profile for use later by using the

Profile

menu item. If

a setting does not allow a change, it probably requires a reboot and should
be changed in the BIOS or from the

Dynamic BIOS Access

page (if

available).
