&
C6/C7 State Support
(Note 1)
Allows you to determine whether to let the CPU enter C6/C7 mode in system halt state. When enabled,
the CPU core frequency and voltage will be reduced during system halt state to decrease power con-
sumption. The C6/C7 state is a more enhanced power-saving state than C3. Auto lets the BIOS auto-
matically congure this setting. (Default: Auto)
&
CPU Thermal Monitor
(Note 1)
Enables or disables Intel
®
Thermal Monitor function, a CPU overheating protection function. When en-
abled, the CPU core frequency and voltage will be reduced when the CPU is overheated. Auto lets the
BIOS automatically congure this setting. (Default: Auto)
&
CPU EIST Function
(Note 1)
Enables or disables Enhanced Intel
®
Speed Step Technology (EIST). Depending on CPU loading, Intel
EIST technology can dynamically and effectively lower the CPU voltage and core frequency to decrease
average power consumption and heat production. Auto lets the BIOS automatically congure this set-
ting. (Default: Auto)
&
ExtremeMemoryProle(X.M.P.)
(Note 2)
Allows the BIOS to read the SPD data on XMP memory module(s) to enhance memory performance
when enabled.

Disabled Disables this function. (Default)

Prole1 Uses Prole 1 settings.

Prole2
(Note 2)
Uses Prole 2 settings.
&
System Memory Multiplier
Allows you to set the system memory multiplier. Auto sets memory multiplier according to memory SPD
data. (Default: Auto)
&
Memory Frequency (MHz)
The rst memory frequency value is the normal operating frequency of the memory being used; the sec-
ond is the memory frequency that is automatically adjusted according to the System Memory Multiplier
settings.

Extreme Memory Profile (X.M.P.)
(Note 2)
, System Memory Multiplier, Memory
Frequency(MHz)
The settings above are synchronous to those under the same items on the Advanced Frequency Set-
tings menu.
&
Memory Boot Mode
(Note 2)
Provides memory detection and training methods.

Auto Lets BIOS automatically congure this setting. (Default)

Enabled Fast Boot Skip memory detection and training in some specic criteria for faster memory
boot.

Disabled Fast Boot Detect and train memory at every single boot.
