All,
I found this website recently this is my first post.
I have an older PC with the FX-6300 and Biostar A960D+ mobo. I haven't been using the computer much lately but it always seemed to be locked up when I needed it. Turns out the case fan and the video card fan both quit. I cleaned the dust and replaced these and became interested in the heat because the computer crashed a few times after this. I realized I needed to run the cpu fan at max instead of smart fan mode to keep it from getting hot.
Now with smart fan disabled, at idle it stays in the 30s or low 40s. I have the stock cooler and I do not overclock. I have been reading about it though. I like to fix things and can't help trying to get this computer running better.
So my question/problem is my bios doesn't have any settings for this cool and quiet mode, or turbo. I can't find them anyway. I am running windows 10 64. I updated the bios from the biostar website using the usb drive and F12. I can't see any difference at all except it changed the system time to military time and changed the bios date. How can I get to the advanced settings for this chip? The motherboard claims to support cool and quiet but I cant find it.
I may want to overclock it sometime and I will add a new cpu cooler.
