BIOS
Albatron K8X800 Pro II bios has very similar layout than most AMI biosses. Despite of strange looking colours and AMI bios like layout, it's AWARD Phoenix bios. It's actually just as easy to do adjustments and navigate trough this bios than any other so nothing to worry about.

Frequency/Voltage Control
Frequency/Voltage Control provides very comprehensive overclocking options. Most annoying problem is that it is not possible to lock or adjust AGP/PCI frequencies. On certain system configurations, this is going to limit overclockability for certain.

CPU Clock Ratio & CPU HOST Frequency
It is possible to adjust CPU Clock Ratio within certain restrictions. Athlon 64 processors are locked so that you can't use higher CPU clock ratio than default, but ratios below that are fully operational. You can also adjust CPU HOST Frequency freely between 200-300 MHz. If that is not enough, you can always go beyond 300 MHz with third party software on Windows.

Voltage settings
Voltage settings are very comprehensive. In my opinion only DDR voltage needs some improvement. If you are hardcore overclocker 2.9 V isn't going to be enough. And as we are going to see on overclocking tests this motherboard really has some potential on that sector.

Advanced Chipset Features
Advanced Chipset Features provides us memory latency settings. Here are also AGP and LDT settings.

PC Health Status
PC Health Status doesn't show dimm voltage but other voltages are visible. CPU temperature reading isn't accurate but if you add to it something like 20C, it gives you good estimate of actual CPU temp.
