BIOS (Basic Input Output System) is a special program that is stitched into a microcircuit on the motherboard and provides coordination between the components of the system unit and the software environment represented by the installed operating system.
Instructions
Step 1
The BIOS contains all the parameters with which the motherboard works. Modern motherboards allow you to programmatically change these values within certain limits. What is it for? The answer is simple - to get more productivity without investing any money.
Step 2
In order to enter the BIOS, you need to press the DEL or F2 button while the computer is booting, the first option is more common. In the window that appears, submenus will be available that are responsible for the operation of individual devices. The location of these options in the menu depends on the specific motherboard. You should be interested in the processor, RAM, and the northbridge of the chipset. Their frequency is the sum of the product of the system bus FSB and multipliers; they are different for each device. Not all models can change the multiplier. Therefore, in most cases, you will have to operate with the FSB frequency.
Step 3
For example, the processor operates at 2200 MHz (200 * 11), memory at 400 MHz (200 * 2), Northbridge 2000 MHz (200 * 10). By changing one of the parameters, you will get higher frequencies and, accordingly, higher performance. It should be remembered that all components have limitations in frequency range and too high settings will lead to instability of the system or it will refuse to start at all. In this case, a slight increase in voltage can help, but it should be remembered that with incorrect voltage values, the consequences can be dire, up to the failure of individual components or the entire computer as a whole.
