CPU CONFIGURATION
INTEL SPEEDSTEP TECHNOLOGY
Intel SpeedStep technology is Intel’s new power saving technology. Processors can switch between multiple
frequencies and voltage points to enable power saving. The default value is [Enabled]. Configuration options:
[Enabled] and [Disabled]. If you install Windows
®
8 / 8.1 and want to enable this function, please set this item
to [Enabled]. This item will be hidden if the current CPU does not support Intel SpeedStep technology.
Please note that enabling this function may reduce CPU voltage and lead
to system stability or compatibility issues with some power supplies.
Please set this item to [Disabled] if above issues occur
CPU C STATES SUPPORT
Enable CPU C States Support for power saving. It is recommended to keep C3, C6 and C7 all enabled for better
power saving.
Enhanced Halt State (C1E)
Enable Enhanced Halt State (C1E) for lower power consumption.
NO-EXECUTE MEMORY PROTECTION
No-Execution (NX) Memory Protection Technology is an enhancement to the IA-32 Intel Architecture. An IA-32
processor with “No Execute (NX) Memory Protection” can prevent data pages from being used by malicious
software to execute codes. This option will be hidden if the current CPU does not support No-Execute Memory
Protection.
Hardware Prefetcher: Use this item to turn on/off the MLC streamer prefetcher.
Adjacent Cache Line Prefetch: Use this item to turn on/off prefetching of adjacent cache lines.
INTEL VIRTUALIZATION TECHNOLOGY
When this option is set to [Enabled], a VMM (Virtual Machine Architecture) can utilize the additional hardware
capabilities provided by Vanderpool Technology. This option will be hidden if the installed CPU does not
support Intel Virtualization Technology.
