3. Notkunarleiðbeiningar
3.1 Fyrsta ræsing og BIOS/UEFI aðgangur
After assembling your system, connect a monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Power on your PC. During the boot process, repeatedly press the Del key to enter the BIOS/UEFI setup utility. Alternatively, you may press F11 for the Boot Menu.
3.2 BIOS/UEFI stillingar
The BIOS/UEFI interface allows you to configure various system settings. Key settings to consider:
- Ræsipöntun: Set the boot priority for your storage devices (e.g., NVMe SSD, SATA SSD/HDD).
- XMP Profile: Virkjaðu Extreme Memory Profile (XMP) til að DDR5 vinnsluminni þitt keyri á auglýstum hraða.
- Viftustýring: Stilltu viftukúrfur fyrir bestu kælingu og hávaða.
- Öryggi: Set BIOS passwords or enable Secure Boot.
