BIOS is signed by AWARD and that’s not a surprise knowing long term collaboration between DFI and AWARD. All vital options can be found in “Genie BIOS Settings” submenu.

For starters we have FSB that can be set in range from 200-700 MHz and we managed to get completely stabile 500 MHz for our test processor E6850. Next is “BOOT UP CLOCK” (it represents FSB value for motherboard boot procedure) that can be set in range of 100-410 MHz so it is possible to avoid computer freezing thanks to this feature. Next interesting option is “O.C. FAIL RETRY COUNTER” that can be set from 0 to 4 and its purpose is to enable you to try to boot successfully few times before motherboard sets FSB to default value. It’s up to you to determine how many retries you need.

BIOS of this motherboard have some unusual options so you will need to spend some time to fully understand them. For example you can easily get “lost” with memory sub-timings section. Many options of this BIOS doesn’t have even MemSET program, not to mention some other motherboards. On DFI LanParty LT X48-T2R there are 200, 266, 333 and 400 memory straps which in combination with memory divider can provide a lot of possibilities for speed adjustments.

Values for voltage settings are displayed in table, so we won’t comment them at all because they speak for themselves. We will say only that “CPU VID SPECIAL ADD” is possible to set only when you adjust CPU VID above the default value for your exact CPU model.
