1 Introduction
Performance tuning of Intel
®
Desktop Board DH67BL enables useful gains that can
enhance overall system performance for gaming, video editing, computation,
performance benchmarking, and other uses.
This guide focuses on using the BIOS for performance tuning of Intel Desktop Board
DH67BL. The main performance tuning focus area is Intel
®
HD Graphics. The
procedures and examples included in this guide are for reference only and may not
work in all situations and system configurations.
Intel Desktop Board DH67BL is designed with a number of enhancements to support
performance tuning while protecting the user from overheating or damaging board
components.
These enhancements include:
• Fan speed control — the processor and system fan speeds automatically increase
when elevated temperatures are sensed.
• Processor thermal protection — the current applied to the processor is
automatically reduced when the thermal protection temperature set point is
reached.
• Processor voltage regulation thermal protection — the voltage regulation system
current is automatically reduced when the thermal protection temperature set
point is reached.
