Overclocking control device and overclocking control method
An overclocking control method cooperates with an overclocking application of a computer system when the overclocking application is started. The overclocking control method includes the steps as follows. A BIOS enters an overclocking mode according to an executing state of the overclocking application. The BIOS receives a first triggering signal outputted from a south bridge chip, and the first triggering signal is generated by the south bridge chip according to a first button of the computer system. The BIOS selects a piece of corresponding overclocking information from a look-up table and loads the overclocking information into a register of the BIOS according to the first triggering signal to control the overclocking of the computer system.
1. An overclocking control method cooperating with an overclocking application when the overclocking application is started, the overclocking control method comprising the steps of:
a BIOS entering an overclocking mode according to an executing state of the overclocking application;
receiving a first triggering signal outputted from a south bridge chip by the BIOS, wherein the first triggering signal is generated by the south bridge chip according to the operation of a first button; and
selecting a piece of corresponding overclocking information from a look-up table and loading the overclocking information in a register of the BIOS according to the first triggering signal by the BIOS,
when the overclocking application is not started, and the first button outputs a first signal, the BIOS works in a normal mode, the BIOS receives a first signal from the south bridge chip according to the first signal,
when the overclocking application is started, and the first button outputs a first triggering signal, the BIOS works in the overclocking mode, the BIOS receives the first triggering signal outputted from the south bridge chip according to the number of the receiving times and frequency of the received first triggering signal, and executing an overclocking function.
2. The control method according to claim 1 , wherein the overclocking information has at least a piece of working frequency information and a piece of working voltage information.
3. The control method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving a second triggering signal outputted from the south bridge chip by the BIOS, wherein the second triggering signal is generated by the south bridge chip according to the operation of a second button; and
selecting a piece of corresponding overclocking information from the look-up table and loading the overclocking information in the register of the BIOS according to the second triggering signal by the BIOS.
4. An overclocking control device cooperating with an overclocking application, the overclocking control device comprising:
a first button;
a south bridge chip electrically connected to the first button and generating a first triggering signal according to the operation of the first button; and
a BIOS electrically connected to the south bridge chip and having a normal mode and an overclocking mode,
when the overclocking application is not started, and the first button outputs a first signal, the BIOS works in a normal mode, the BIOS receives a first signal from the south bridge chip and control a computer according to the first signal,
wherein when the overclocking application is started to make the BIOS work in the overclocking mode, and the south bridge outputs a first triggering signal, the BIOS receives the first triggering signal outputted from the south bridge chip according to the number of the receiving times and frequency of the received first triggering signal, selects a piece of corresponding overclocking information in a look-up table according to the first triggering signal and loads the overclocking information into a register of the BIOS, and executing a overclocking function.
5. The control device according to claim 4 , wherein the register stores the overclocking information as the look-up table.
6. The control device according to claim 4 , wherein the overclocking information has at least a piece of working frequency information and a piece of working voltage information.
7. The control device according to claim 4 , further comprising a second button electrically connected to the south bridge chip, wherein the south bridge chip generates a second triggering signal according to the operation of the second button.
8. The control device according to claim 7 , wherein the BIOS selects a piece of corresponding overclocking information from the look-up table according to the second triggering signal and loads the overclocking information into the register of the BIOS.
