Motherboards/IntegratedCPU by stefan @ 2011-03-04
The Foxconn AHD1S motherboard comes equipped with one of the latest APUs from AMD, the E-350 with RADEON HD 6310 Integrated Graphics, much more powerful than the Intel Atom + Ion 2 offerings, in all productivity applications and games. The motherboard does also feature a completely passive cooling system, so it will not add any extra noise to our setup.
This motherboard comes equipped with Aptio Setup Utility, the same as the one that could be found on the previously reviewed ECS board; in the Main menu, we can set the date/time, and find details regarding the BIOS version, time, build date, but also the name of the CPU, total memory installed and LAN MAC address:
The Advanced menu is split into multiple categories like Trusted Computing, CPU Configuration, SATA Configuration and so on:
In the TPM menu, we can enable/disable the support, in case we have hardware installed in the TPM header:
The CPU Configuration menu allows us to set the “Limit CPUID Maximum” option, PSS Support, adjust PSTATE (0 to 7), adjust PPC, enable/disable the No-execute page protection function, or enable/disable CPU virtualization (SVM):
In the SATA Configuration menu, we can only see the currently installed hardware in the SATA ports:
The USB configuration menu allows us to enable or disable the Legacy USB Support:
In the SuperIO Configuration menu, we can modify settings regarding the serial port and CIR controller:
The Onboard Device Configuration menu lets us enable/disable the onboard devices like LAN, USB controller, audio or SATA; here we can also set the SATA mode for the controller:
