Gigabyte Gaming 5 Manual

BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) records hardware parameters of th\
e system in the CMOS on the motherboard. Its major functions include conducting the Power-On Self-Test (POST) during system startup, saving system parameters and loading operating system, etc. BIOS includes a BIOS Setup program that allows the	user	to	modify	basic	system	configuration	settings	or	to	activate	certain	system	features.When the power is turned off, the battery on the motherboard supplies the necessary power to the CMOS...

Whether the system will work stably with the overclock/overvoltage settings you made is dependent on your overall system	configurations.	 Incorrectly	doing	overclock/overvoltage	 may	result	 in	damage	 to	CPU,	 chipset,	 or	memory	and reduce the useful life of these components. This page is for advanced users only and we recommend you not to alter the default settings to prevent system instability or other unexpected results.  (Inadequately altering the settings may result in system's...

 &C6/C7 State Support (Note 1)
 Allows you to determine whether to let the CPU enter C6/C7 mode in system halt state. When enabled, the CPU core frequency and voltage will be reduced during system halt state to decrease power consumption. The C6/C7 state is a more enhanced power-saving state than C3. Auto	lets	 the	BIOS 	automatically	 configure	this setting. (Default: Auto)
 &C8 State Support (Note 1)
 Allows you to determine whether to let the CPU enter C8 mode in system halt state. When enabled, the...

 &Memory Frequency (MHz)	 The	 first	memory	 frequency	 value	is	the	 normal	 operating	 frequency	 of	the	 memory	 being	used;	the	second	is the memory frequency that is automatically adjusted according to the \
System Memory Multiplier settings.
