The Aopen MK77M-V features
the now familiar Phoenix Technology’s Award BIOS. It has all the features we
have come to expect, including:
- Advanced BIOS Features
- DRAM
Clock—100MHZ/133MHZ/By Speed
- DRAM Timing—By
Speed/Manual
- DRAM CAS
Timing—2.5/2.0
- Bank
Interleave—Disabled/2 Bank/4Bank
- TRP—3T/2T
- TRAS—6T/5T
- TRCD—3T/2T
- DRAM Command
Rate—2T/1T
- Frequency/Voltage
Control (there are no voltage control settings)
- Auto Detect PCI/DIMM
Clk—Disabled/Enabled
- Spread
Spectrum—Disabled/Enabled
- CPU Host-AGP-PCI Clk—Default/133-67-33
through 160-80-40 (there are no multiplier adjustment settings)
The PC Health Menu allows
the user to monitor system and CPU temperatures, system voltages, and offers
shutdown protection that can be set to a maximum of 70 degrees C.
The other menu options
offer pretty standard fare.
Overclocking
Our overclocking goals for
the MK77M-V consisted of achieving the maximum STABLE FSB speed,
while running our memory at the most aggressive settings possible.
Using the test
configuration from the table below, we proceeded to employ different
combinations of FSB/memory settings until we were able to accomplish our goal.
Our results were as
follows:
- Multiplier 12.0
(Default)
- FSB 144
- Memory
2-2T-5T-2T-1T (CAS/TRP/TRAS/TRCD/Command Rate)
- Vcore 1.75V
(Default)
