[. . . ] The values range from 0. 8000V to 1. 7000 with a 0. 01V interval. · The values of the CPU Manual Voltage, CPU Offset Voltage, iGPU Manual Voltage, iGPU Offset Voltage, DRAM Voltage, VCCIO Voltage, and PCH Voltage items are labeled in different color, indicating the risk levels of high voltage settings. The system may need better cooling system to work stably under high voltage settings. · DRAM DATA REF Voltage on CHA/B [Auto] Chapter 3 3-18 Allows you to set the DRAM DATA Reference Voltage on Channel A/B. The values range from 0. 395x to 0. 630x with a 0. 005x interval. Different ratio might enhance DRAM overclocking ability. DRAM CTRL REF Voltage on CHA/B [Auto] Allows you to set the DRAM Control Reference Voltage on Channel A/B. The values range from 0. 395x to 0. 630x with a 0. 005x interval. Different ratio might enhance DRAM overclocking ability. CPU Spread Spectrum [Auto] [Auto] [Disabled] [Enabled] Automatic configuration. Sets to [Enabled] for EMI control. Chapter 3: BIOS setup 3. 5 Advanced menu The Advanced menu items allow you to change the settings for the CPU and other system devices. Be cautious when changing the settings of the Advanced menu items. Incorrect field values can cause the system to malfunction. ASUS K70IL 3-19 Chapter 3 3. 5. 1 CPU Configuration The items in this menu show the CPU-related information that the BIOS automatically detects. The items shown in this screen may be different due to the CPU you installed. Chapter 3 3-20 Scroll down to display the following items: Intel Adaptive Thermal Monitor [Enabled] [Enabled] [Disabled] Enables the overheated CPU to throttle its clock speed to cool down. Disables the CPU thermal monitor function. Active Processor Cores [All] Allows you to choose the number of CPU cores to activate in each processor package. Configuration options: [All] [1] [2] [3] Limit CPUID Maximum [Disabled] [Enabled] [Disabled] Allows legacy operating systems to boot even without support for CPUs with extended CPUID functions. Disables this function. Chapter 3: BIOS setup Execute Disable Bit [Enabled] [Enabled] [Disabled] [Enabled] Enables the No-Execution Page Protection Technology. Configuration options: [Enabled] [Disabled] This item appears only when you set the Active Page Threshold Support to [Enabled] and allows you to set the Active Memory Threshold. When the partition size is larger than the Active Page Threshold size, the system will try to support the Intel(R) Rapid Start Technology. When the item is set to zero, the system automatically checks whether the partition size is enough at S3 entry. Key in the desired value using the numeric keypad. Intel(R) Smart Connect Technology ISCT Configuration [Disabled] Allows you to enable or disable the ISCT configuration. Configuration options: [Enabled] [Disabled] ASUS K70IL 3-23 Chapter 3 3. 5. 3 SATA Configuration While entering Setup, the BIOS automatically detects the presence of SATA devices. The SATA Port items show Not Present if no SATA device is installed to the corresponding SATA port. Scroll down to display the following items: Chapter 3 SATA Mode Selection [AHCI] [IDE] [AHCI] Allows you to set the SATA configuration. Set to [IDE Mode] when you want to use the Serial ATA hard disk drives as Parallel ATA physical storage devices. Set to [AHCI Mode] when you want the SATA hard disk drives to use the AHCI (Advanced Host Controller Interface). The AHCI allows the onboard storage driver to enable advanced Serial ATA features that increases storage performance on random workloads by allowing the drive to internally optimize the order of commands. Set to [RAID Mode] when you want to create a RAID configuration from the SATA hard disk drives. [RAID] 3-24 Chapter 3: BIOS setup S. M. A. R. T. [. . . ] Align and firmly insert the 4-Way SLI bridge connector to the goldfingers on each graphics card. Ensure that the connector is firmly in place. Connect four independent auxiliary power sources from the power supply to the four graphics cards separately. Connect a VGA or a DVI cable to the graphics card. Chapter 5 5-6 4-Way SLI bridge Chapter 5: Multiple GPU technology support 5. 2. 3 Installing the device drivers Ensure that your PCI Express graphics card driver supports the NVIDIA® SLITM technology.
