Abstract
A method and device of plugging and immediately playing a CPU. The user sets the settings of working frequency and voltage of the CPU through the system firmware of a computer. Then, the system stores the settings in a storage device, and the CPU is reset by a reset unit, thereby the multiple frequency controller and voltage converter take control of the operation to instruct the CPU to determine the working speed by a new multiple frequency ratio and to change the voltage into a working voltage corresponding to the model and brand of the CPU without the use of jumpers or switches. The goal of plugging and immediately playing of a CPU is achieved.
