Foxconn 975X7AA Crossfire Mainboard 

Below is a glimpse of the Fox One Technology at work on the 975X7AA board.  Six selections are available to select from to boost the performance of the board via voltages and clock speeds.  Auto is for the windows presets to be available while running within the operating system.  Manual is just that - DIY.  The others are basically one click overclocking options tailored to specific purposes.

Manual voltage adjustment and range settings abide in plenty for the CPU Vcore, CPU termination voltage, DRAM and the memory controller hub voltage.

        

The CPU frequency as well as PCI-E frequency are open to tinkering in 1MHz adjustments.  If anyone gets their P4 to max out at the ceiling adjustment of 600MHz let me know... please.

  

The last three shots in the BIOS are of the PC Health Status screen.  The usual display is present here with shutdown temperature trip points and a smart fan option.  The smart fan option allows you to preselect what percentage of full speed you want to run at; anywhere from 60% up to max.

     

Fox One

No, this doesn't mean someone is launching an air to air missile.  Fox One is Foxconn's hardware technology allowing dynamic overclocking with either a preselected automatic setting or from a Windows based interface.  I have to say, it's nice, REAL nice!  The interface not only allows tweaking but is set up to display frequency, voltage, fan speeds and temperatures on an easy to read on screen layout.

  

Here are the Windows based tweaking screens.  Notice that like the BIOS, you have the option of manual adjustments or one of the Foxconn tailored performance levels.  CPU frequency, memory, PCI-E frequency not to mention Vcore, DRAM and Northbridge voltages are all here at your finger tips.

     

Aside from the usual, you also have the ability to choose at what percentage the smart fan operates at and what values will be displayed on the ready glance line of digital dials.
