` PPMConguration
& EIST
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. (Default: Enabled)
& CPU C state Report
Enables or disables support for CPU's power-saving functions. (Default: Enabled)
& Enhanced C state
Enables or disables Intel
®
CPU Enhanced Halt (C1E) function, a CPU power-saving function in system halt
state. When enabled, the CPU core frequency and voltage will be reduced during system halt state to decrease
power consumption.

(Default: Enabled)
& Max CPU C-state
Allows you to determine the maximum C state that the CPU will support. Options include: C6, C1 (default).

` ThermalConguration
& DTS
Enables or disables the CPU overheating protection function. (Default: Disabled)
& Critical Trip Point
Allows you to set the CPU temperature threshold. If the CPU temperature reaches this value, the operating
