The BIOS of Foxconn A7GM-S is built on the AMI BIOS version.

There is a parameter in charge of selecting the memory operating frequency:

Now move on to the section to do with the system monitoring.

The board displays the current temperature values of the CPU and system, as well as the rotational speed of the two fans. Besides, the boards displays current levels of the main voltages.

Note that the CPU cooler and the cooler plugged in to the SYS_FAN are able adjusting the rotational speeds depending on the temperature of the CPU and the system using the Smart Fan feature.

The Foxconn One utility allows tracing the monitoring data from within Windows:

As regards updating the firmware, the user can make use of the Live Update:

Also, the user can make use of the Foxconn Logo which allows replacing the boot-up screen image. This can be done with a utility of the same name:

Foxconn A7GM-S

We one again repeat that this program is best in its class. The latest version has proved to be even more convenient: the user only has to choose an image, with all the other steps completed by the program. Foxconn Logo does the job of adjusting the image size and compression (through reduction of the color depth), since the BIOS size is quite limited. Besides, the program can position the image in the center without changing the resolution, or stretch it to fit the screen size, or increase it proportionally. With no hesitation, it deserves the highest score!

As regards the settings of the integrated video core, the memory capacity allocated for Radeon HD3200 is adjustable:
