U-COP / Hybrid Booster / Boot Failure Guard

ASRock U-COP
(Universal CPU Overheating Protection)

For all of ASRock AMD and Intel CPU series motherboards, we embedded a
special thermal guard mechanism to protect the CPU from damages caused by
overheating. In order to support the whole variety of temperature criteria for all
socket 478 Intel CPUs and socket A AMD CPUs like Duron/Athlon and AthlonXP
Processors, ASRock U-COP is equipped with internal/external dual sensors and
universal sensing interface to select the appropriate temperature criteria the CPU
mounted on board.
ASRock U-COP is a hardware level mechanism providing an independent alert
interface. It is not necessary to operate through BIOS or any other software
applications. Because of the real time power shut off under critical conditions,
ASRock U-COP provides sufficient protection for AMD and Intel CPUs.
ASRock U-COP is the ONLY technology worldwide, which provides all Socket A
AMD CPUs (Duron/Athlon/AthlonXP series) with hardware level overheat protection.


Hybrid Booster
is a safe overclocking featuer, combined iwth the overclocking and
safety features. Which include:


   CPU Multiplier:
Provide the interface to adjust the CPU Multiplier value to get the 
    best CPU speed.

   Vcore Voltage Adjustment:
Provide a power up CPU core voltage adjustment interface.

   CPU frequency Stepless control: Provide the interface to increase or decrease the
   CPU clock by 1MHz per click.

AGP/PCI Frequency control:
The interface for AGP/PCI frequency setting

Boot Failure Guard is a boot failure restore feature. While system could not
bootup normally at overclocking setting, the safe boot up mode will be issue from
Boot Failure Guard and provide a BIOS setting Interface to parameter reset/correction.
