P4M800 Pro-M7 CHAPTER 5: WARPSPEEDER™ 5.1 INTRODUCTION [WarpSpeeder™], a new powerful control utility, features three user-friendly functions including Overclock Manager, Overvoltage Manager, and Hardware Monitor. With the Overclock Manager, users can easily adjust the frequency they prefer or they can get the best CPU performance with just one click. The Overvoltage Manager, on the other hand, helps to power up CPU core voltage and Memory voltage.
PAGE 24
P4M800 Pro-M7 5.3 INSTALLATION 1. Execute the setup execution file, and then the following dialog will pop up. Please click “Next” button and follow the default procedure to install. 2. When you see the following dialog in setup procedure, it means setup is completed. If the “Launch the WarpSpeeder Tray Utility” checkbox is checked, the Tray Icon utility and [WarpSpeeder™] utility will be automatically and immediately launched after you click “Finish” button.
PAGE 25
P4M800 Pro-M7 5.4 [WARPSPEEDER™] INCLUDES 1 TRAY ICON AND 5 PANELS 1. Tray Icon: Whenever the Tray Icon utility is launched, it will display a little tray icon on the right side of Windows Taskbar. This utility is responsible for conveniently invoking [WarpSpeeder™] Utility. You can use the mouse by clicking the left button in order to invoke [WarpSpeeder™] directly from the little tray icon or you can right-click the little tray icon to pop up a popup menu as following figure.
PAGE 26
P4M800 Pro-M7 2. Main Panel If you click the tray icon, [WarpSpeeder™] utility will be invoked. Please refer to the following figure; the utility’s first window you will see is Main Panel. Main Panel contains features as follows: a. b. c. Display the CPU Speed, CPU external clock, Memory clock, AGP clock, and PCI clock information. Contains About, Voltage, Overclock, and Hardware Monitor Buttons for invoking respective panels.
PAGE 27
P4M800 Pro-M7 3. Voltage Panel Click the Voltage button in Main Panel, the button will be highlighted and the Voltage Panel will slide out to up as the following figure. In this panel, you can decide to increase CPU core voltage and Memory voltage or not. The default setting is “No”. If you want to get the best performance of overclocking, we recommend you click the option “Yes”.
PAGE 28
P4M800 Pro-M7 4. Overclock Panel Click the Overclock button in Main Panel, the button will be highlighted and the Overclock Panel will slide out to left as the following figure. Overclock Panel contains the these features: a. “–3MHz button”, “-1MHz button”, “+1MHz button”, and “+3MHz button”: provide user the ability to do real-time overclock adjustment. Warning: Manually overclock is potentially dangerous, especially when the overclocking percentage is over 110 %.
PAGE 29
P4M800 Pro-M7 c. d. “Auto-overclock button”: User can click this button and [WarpSpeeder™] will set the best and stable performance and frequency automatically. [WarpSpeeder™] utility will execute a series of testing until system fail. Then system will do fail-safe reboot by using Watchdog function. After reboot, the [WarpSpeeder™] utility will restore to the hardware default setting or load the verified best and stable frequency according to the Recovery Dialog’s setting.
PAGE 30
P4M800 Pro-M7 6. About Panel Click the “about” button in Main Panel, the button will be highlighted and the About Panel will slide out to up as the following figure. In this panel, you can get model name and detail information in hints of all the chipset that are related to overclocking. You can also get the mainboard’s BIOS model and the Version number of [WarpSpeeder™] utility.
PAGE 31
P4M800 Pro-M7 Note: Because the overclock, overvoltage, and hardware monitor features are controlled by several separate chipset, [WarpSpeeder™] divide these features to separate panels. If one chipset is not on board, the correlative button in Main panel will be disabled, but will not interfere other panels’ functions. This property can make [WarpSpeeder™] utility more robust.
