[. . . ] This smart design increases battery life if you still plug battery on motherboard. Flash ROM CMOS Backup by EEPROM 57 AX4SG- GN Resetable Fuse Online Manual Traditional motherboard uses fuses to prevent Keyboard and USB port from over-current or shortage. These fuses are soldered onboard that when it is broken (function to protect motherboard), user cannot replace them and result in malfunction of motherboard. With expensive Resetable Fuse, the motherboard can be resumed back to normal function even after the fuse had done its protection job. Resetable Fuse 58 AX4SG- GN Enlarged Aluminum Heatsink Online Manual Cool down CPU and Chipset are important for system reliability. Enlarged aluminum heat sink provides better heat consumption especially when you are trying to over-clock the CPU. 59 AX4SG- GN Low ESR Capacitor Online Manual The quality of low ESR capacitor (Low Equivalent Series Resistance) during high frequency operation is very important for the stability of CPU power. The idea of where to put these capacitors is another know-how that requires experience and detail calculation. Not only that, AX4SG-GN implements 3300 F capacitors, which is much larger than normal capacitor (1000 & 1500 F) and it provides better stability for CPU power. 60 AX4SG- GN EzClock Online Manual Have you ever thought how great it would be if you can adjust the frequency setting on your motherboard under Windows environment and be a real master of your system?Everybody knows that the ratio and frequency setting are key factors to influence the system performance, however, it's absolutely not an easy task for an amateur to adjust the setting value. On most traditional motherboards, you have to get into BIOS screen for the frequency and reboot the system again and again. But from now on, you don't have to surfer the boring stuffs anymore. With brand-new and user-friendly EzClock that AOpen specially designs for his users, you can adjust those important values as you please and think of suitable. This tailor-made EzClock allows you to set the voltage and frequency of CPU, VGA, PCI and memory under Windows environment as well as in BIOS setting page; even better, those settings will be displayed realtime. Having this handy EzClock, you can monitor the system when you're fine-tuning the performance of your system. It provides you detailed and necessary information. Now let's take a look how it works on utility, BIOS and POST. 61 AX4SG- GN How You Adjust the Settings in EzClock Utility Online Manual In EzClock utility, you can adjust CPU Front Side Bus (FSB), the voltage and frequency of VGA, AGP, PCI and DRAM. Besides, the CPU related information such as CPU voltage, temperature and CPUFAN rotation speed will also be displayed on this utility. CPU Color Bars: The color bar will light on and show different colors as values change. On the left circle area shows Ratio, FSB and frequency information about CPU. When the values are set to factory default, the light on the top and bottom of the circle will show green and it will vary as you change these CPU settings. CPU Ratio, FSB and frequency displaying area: You can adjust CPU FSB here by entering preferred value. On the right part of the panel is the section that you adjust the settings of VGA, AGP, PCI and memory. To adjust the voltage and clock frequency of those installments, you can press "-" or "+" on corresponding items. The color parts represent the situation of values. The higher value you set, the light on the color bar goes to right and turns red. [. . . ] The part number, serial number and BIOS version are also very helpful. Part Nu m b er an d Seri al Nu m b er The Part Number and Serial number are printed on bar code label. You can find this bar code label on the outside packing, or on component side of PCB. For example: Part No. Serial No. P/N: 91. 88110. 201 is part number, S/N: 91949378KN73 is serial number. 102 AX4SG- GN Model name and BIOS version Online Manual Model name and BIOS version can be found on upper left corner of first boot screen (POST screen). 2003 AOpen Inc.
