We updated the motherboard with the latest BIOS (P05). The BIOS is slightly different than what we saw with the Gigabyte's solution. This one is not as straightforward as Gigabyte's, in our opinion.

The general tab has various sub-categories:

Entering at the Fox Central Control Unit, we can adjust all the major functions of the motherboard.

However, unlike Gigabyte's solution, all the functions are placed in several sub-categories so you have to go up&down in order to find what you are looking for and make any change.

The SmartBIOS provides some information about the cpu/memory:

At the Fox Intelligent Stepping we find the FSB, memory speed, Gfx and CPU multiplier:

The memory can be set to 200, 266, 333, 400 and 533MHz

Overclocking the ATI HD3300 is also possible.

Under the other menu called Voltage Options, we can set the CPU, memory, NB and HT/SB voltages. Again the numbers are relative to the selected value, meaning that you have to guess what the initial value was.

Under the CPU configuration we find more options such as enable/disable Cool'N'Quiet, C1E support and TLB Patch (for processors who need it).

Under the Advanced chipset features, you can configure the memory timings and the IGP settings

The last BIOS tab we have to mention is the PC Health status that offers important information about the motherboard and the cpu:

- Test Configuration

We installed the AMD Phenom X4 9950BE on the Foxconn motherboard

Unlike to the Gigabyte motherboard, the Foxconn board does not support EPP profiles. Therefore, we had to manually force the motherboard to work at 533MHz.
