The analysis of spectra of the B8 Si-rich HD 92664 recorded by the SWP camera on board the International Ultraviolet Explorer reveals variations of the far-ultraviolet spectral energy distribution shortwards of 1700 Å over a time interval of about 2 months. In contrast, the mid-UV flux does not vary which suggests that changes of the silicon continuous and line opacity are the cause of the variations. The iron-peak elements, chromium, manganese and iron play a lesser role than silicon in these variations. Phased on previous ephemeris, the FUV minimum occurs at the rotational phase, ϕ = 0.0, which corresponds to maximum light in the V-band and minimum longitudinal magnetic field.
