CPU CONFIGURATION SETTING

The Profiles, as we probably am aware it today, is available from the principal PC. Its capacity is to design the equipment introduced on your PC and make them all work accurately when you begin the working system.Therefore, it is essential to know the fundamental parts of your arrangement.

• How would I get to the Profiles of my PC?

• Before figuring out how to arrange your PC's Profiles , it is advantageous to figure out how to get to the Profiles.

Since producers introduce distinctive adaptations of Profiles on their motherboards, the best approach to get to them may shift, contingent upon the maker of the board. In a few PCs it is gotten to by squeezing the F2 key before the framework is begun, in others the F12 enter is utilized , in others the Unmistakable key , and so forth.

•  Start your PC from a USB or DVD drive

One of the most useful functions to configure on your computer is from which unit the operating system should start.

his configuration will allow you to run a Linux Live USB from USB-connected drives or from the installation DVD of an operating system.

The start priority indicates the order in which the boot loader analyzes the connected drives for an operating system. As a general rule, the first place you will search will be on the internal hard drive of your computer and will load the operating system that you have installed on it.

You can establish that, before searching the internal hard disk, it should be in the disk drive or in a USB drive.

Access the BIOS and look for the Boot Setup section. Here, you can set the order of startup devices.

You can establish the order you want, but if you like to try Linux distress , you can have the USB connections checked at the beginning and start the computer from the USB drive containing the Linux distort , rather than from your internal hard drive. To do this, choose USB-HDD in the list of options of First boot Device. For Second Boot Device, choose the CD or DVD drive, to search the system boot files. Finally, choose Hard Disk for the Third Boot Device option  . In this way, if the boot manager does not find an operating system in any of the above options, it will search and start from the operating system installed on your hard drive.

If you have several hard disks installed, you should also configure which of them you should search first. To do this, use the Hard Disk Boot Priority option . When finished, press F10 and confirm all changes made.

• Activate the XMP profiles of the RAM

If you have updated the RAM and have purchased one more frequently (faster), you should make sure that the motherboard will configure it to work at the correct frequency and not at a lower frequency.

The equipment with Intel processors, have

a function that automatically adjusts all the necessary parameters so that the RAM works at a certain frequency that the manufacturer establishes.

This automatic configuration is the XMP profile ( Extreme Memory Profile ).

If your RAM has this feature, and your motherboard has support for this technology, you can activate this profile so that the memory is automatically configured.

To activate the XMP profile, access the BIOS and enter the Advanced Frequency Settings section. Here you will find the necessary options to modify the processor and RAM frequencies, so you should not modify anything if you are not absolutely sure of what you are doing. Now look for the Extreme Memory Profile option and choose the appropriate XMP configuration profile so that the RAM works at the frequency that the manufacturer indicates for that module.

• Adjust the frequency and latency of your RAM

If your motherboard does not support the use of XMP profiles , you must configure the frequency of the RAM in the BIOS .

For this, multiplication factors called SPD ( Serial Presence Detect ) are used.

It is possible that, in origin, the motherboard automatically configures the RAM memory to work at a lower frequency than the manufacturer promised. To work at the correct frequency, you must increase the SPD multiplier.

Do it from the Advanced Memory Settings section of the BIOS. Here you will find the necessary options to configure the RAM memory.

Find the System Memory Multiplier (SPD) option and increase the multiplier value, until you get the frequency promised by the manufacturer of the RAM module.

To avoid possible failures, make sure that the memory alienates are well configured. Access the Timing Settings options of each of the memory channels occupied by the installed modules and confirm that they are the correct alienates. You will find these latency values ​​in a label attached to the memory module or in the technical specifications indicated by the manufacturer.

• Control the temperature of your computer

Another important aspect when it comes to knowing how to configure the BIOS of your computer is related to the sensors of your PC. 

In the section PC Health Status of the BIOS you will find the necessary options to configure the temperature sensors of your equipment . In this way, you can activate an alarm that will warn you when the processor has a dangerous temperature or make the cooling fan operate at different revolutions (and noise) depending on the workload of the processor.

Start by activating the temperature alarm. Find the CPU Warning Temperature option and choose a temperature between 80 and 90ºC .

Now, activate the CPU Smart FAN Control function so that the board controls the revolutions of the processor fan. Then, in the option CPU Smart FAN Mode activates the control mode that supports the cooling fan of the processor. If you do not know which one to choose, leave it in Auto and the motherboard will manage it in the most appropriate way.
