9th Touch
9th Touch means users could enjoy the speed, safety & convenience when respective booting requirement. The easiest way is just to touch ?F9? function key during booting procedure to choose any device you like to boot for the system. Forget about entering CMOS, rebooting activities. In addition, at the same time, the system configuration will be very safe.l.
FLASHER™
Regularly, when users want to update BIOS, there are two steps to be followed. First, move to DOS environment. Second, use and maybe download the flash utility to update the BIOS. Unfortunately, there is no DOS support under WindowsR XP. Moreover, it takes time to prepare the right flash utility and make a Bootable Floppy Disk if necessary. BIOSTAR's [FLASHER™] technology integrates flash utility function onto BIOS firmware. The advantage is users do not need neither to enter DOS nor to prepare the utility. Just simply enter CMOS and do it.
WarpSpeeder™
a new powerful control utility, features three user-friendly functions including Overclock Manager, Overvoltage Manager, and Hardware Monitor.
WatchDog
It is important to know that when overclocking, the system can be at a vulnerable state. Therefore, the [WatchDog™] technology was designed to protect your PC under dangerous over-clock situations. Any over-clocking that reaches the threshold settings, the WatchDog Technology will automatically restart the system.This user-friendly design can save you from squandering your time on opening the case just to clean the CMOS. In the end, thanks to the WatchDog Technology, everything is back at normal.
WINFlasher
As traditional methodology, the BIOS upgrade process is under DOS environment. WINFlasher, a new flashing utility allow users run the BIOS upgrade process easily under Windows environment. It is friendlier, quicker and safer.
