Foxconn WinFast NF4K8AC nForce4 Mainboard BIOS Foxconn has selected the popular Phoenix BIOS for use with its NF4K8AC boards. We have a few shots of the BIOS screens that should be of particular interest to you. A picture is worth a thousand words they say.
Several adjustments are present here to give you some control your processor's speed. One that was missing however was a multiplier adjustment control. Processor frequency is present offering a range of 200 - 300MHz. You will also see below that you have the option of enabling or disabling Foxconn's SuperBoot and SuperBIOS Protect features.
Memory wise, we have a full range of settings available. Have a look.
One unfamiliar option under the BIOS is the X-BIOS II screen. Here we find voltage tweaks for the Chipset, memory, Hypertransport Vdd Current and the CPU's voltage. Nothing truly amazing here. If anything, the levels are a bit low. An example could be Corsair's DDR550 modules that love to run at 2.85 volts which is over the offered range.
Last up is a pic of the PC Health Status screen. A smart fan control (CPU fan header auto throttle) and shutdown temperature with adjustable setting are expected and very welcome options found on most any current quality mainboard.
