Performance tuning for greater
control
An Intel-designed BIOS

presets clock
values for quick performance tuning, along
with great manual controls. The six-phase
voltage regulators with sturdy thermal
solutions and CHiL* Advanced Digital
Voltage Regulator Control deliver high-
speed phase control for lower, efcient,
and balanced temperature. An onboard
post code decoder LED cycles through post
codes while booting. The third-generation
watchdog timer recovers from crashes
by restoring previous safe values. If the
watchdog timer fails, the easy-to-access
Back-to-BIOS switch lets you get to main-
tenance mode without having to open the
system chassis.
