BIOS
Shuttle use their standard AWARD BIOS configuration with their own hardware-specific sections, as expected, with the SB95P v2.0. Here's a quick overview of the major screens. All the pictures are clickable, giving you larger versions (800 pixels wide, ~130KiB).
You can set memory frequency to 400 or 533MHz (ratios of front side bus frequency in reality) and feed the modules up to 1.90V.
CPU multiplier is adjustable if your processor supports it. Even if it doesn't, you still have control over CPU voltage (up to 1.5875V) and front side bus frequency (up to 355MHz in 1MHz steps), for a spot of overclocking.
The health screen, where you can monitor various paramaters relating to the mainboard, processor and memory, leads on to the Smart Fan screen. The Smart Fan settings let you change fan speed either as a fixed percentage of full speed, or you leave control to the BIOS which will modulate fan speed based on temperature, for the fan it's controlling.
The tested BIOS has a bug where it'll set 100% fan speed when entering standby, which is fixed in the latest official BIOS. Otherwise, Smart Fan modulated the fan speed of the processor's cooler (two fans out of an internal total of five) very well, keeping it quiet under idle and low load conditions, speeding things up when needed. Full speed is fairly obnoxious and you wouldn't want to tolerate it for any length of time, with anything under or equal to 50% being agreeable to this reviewer's ears.
