| 20090256546 | MOTHERBOARD WITH OVERCLOCKING AND OVERVOLTING FUNCTIONS - A motherboard with overclocking and overvolting functions is provided. The motherboard with an overvolting function includes a specified component, a voltage regulator and a micro-controller. The specified component receives an operating voltage. The voltage regulator generates the operating voltage according to a reference voltage. The micro-controller is electrically connected to an external input device for receiving a control signal issued by the external input device and adjusting the reference voltage according to the control signal. | 10-15-2009 |
| 20090259788 | MOTHERBOARD HAVING TIME CALCULATING DEVICE AND TIME CALCULATING METHOD THEREOF - A motherboard having a time calculating device is provided. The motherboard includes a central processing unit, a chipset and a micro controller. The chipset is connected to the central processing unit. The micro controller includes a time counter and a non-volatile storage unit storing therein a first value. The time counter starts to count time when the operating state of the motherboard detected by the micro controller is switched from a power-off state to a power-on state. The time counter stops counting time and defines the counting value as a second value when the operating state of the motherboard detected by the micro controller is switched from the power-on state to the power-off state. The micro controller updates the first value by adding the first value and the second value and stores the updated first value to the non-volatile storage unit. | 10-15-2009 |
| 20090282174 | STATUS SIGNAL DISPLAYING SYSTEM - A status signal displaying system includes a motherboard, a micro-controller and a display device. The motherboard includes a central processing unit and a plurality of status signal generating circuits for generating status signals. The micro-controller is electrically connected to the status signal generating circuits. The display device is electrically connected to the micro-controller. The status signals are processed by the micro-controller, and the processed status signals are directly transmitted to the display device for display without being processed by the central processing unit. | 11-12-2009 |
| 20100100769 | POWER ON SELF TEST DEVICE AND COMPUTER SYSTEM APPLYING THE SAME - A power on self test (POST) device and a computer system applying the same are disclosed, wherein the POST device comprises a micro controller and a displaying unit. The micro controller is embedded on a motherboard of the computer system for receiving a plurality of POST codes generated by the computer system during a booting procedure and transforming the POST codes into a displaying signal. The displaying unit which is capable for receiving and showing the displaying signal is connected to the micro controller through a flexible line. | 04-22-2010 |
| 20100115300 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR ADJUSTING CLOCK FREQUENCY AND OPERATING VOLTAGE OF COMPUTER SYSTEM - A frequency and voltage adjusting method is provided for adjusting a clock frequency or an operating voltage of a first component of a computer system. Firstly, a control function of a computer keyboard is enabled. Then, an initiating signal is generated by the computer keyboard. After the initiating signal is received, a control key of the computer keyboard is depressed to generate a frequency-increasing signal, a frequency-decreasing signal, a voltage-increasing signal or a voltage-decreasing signal. The clock frequency is increased according to the frequency-increasing signal. The clock frequency is decreased according to the frequency-decreasing signal. The operating voltage is increased according to the voltage-increasing signal. The operating voltage is decreased according to the voltage-decreasing signal. | 05-06-2010 |
