Foxconn 790FX powersaving...

[PennySavre]

Are there any options on this motherboard's BIOS for Cool N Quiet or disabling it? What about powersaving in general?

Its under CPU config-> Powernow

Thanks. I'm having a problem right now though... when I turn on the computer and it goes straight to Windows without passing the BIOS screen first, the voltage on the processor is set the default way when I actually have it set higher. It takes restarting the computer for the voltage to be set correctly.

I had the same problem with my foxconn a79a-s
every change I would have to completely turn off the system for changes to happen

If the problem can't be fixed, is there a way to set it so that it always boots from the BIOS screen when the power button on the computer is pressed, instead of just appearing at Windows?

I'm sure there is
I can check for you in a few days

You can hit DEl key and it can take you to your bios

Any help would be appreciated.

Unfortunately I never did figure out the low CPU voltage upon resuming Windows problem.
