- 43 - BIOS Setup
HDD S.M.A.R.T. Capability
Enables or disables the S.M.A.R.T. (Self Monitoring and Reporting Technology) capability of your hard
drive. This feature allows your system to report read/write errors of the hard drive and to issue warnings
when a third party hardware monitor utility is installed. (Default: Enabled)
CPU Multi-Threading
(Note)
Allows you to determine whether to enable all CPU cores and multi-threading function when using an
Intel CPU that supports multi-core technology. This feature only works for operating systems that support
multi-processor mode.
Enabled Enables all CPU cores and multi-threading capability. (Default)
Disabled Enables only one CPU core.
Limit CPUID Max. to 3
(Note)
Allows you to determine whether to limit CPUID maximum value. Set this item to Disabled for Windows
XP operating system; set this item to Enabled for legacy operating system such as Windows NT4.0.
(Default: Disabled)
No-Execute Memory Protect
(Note)
Enables or disables Intel Execute Disable Bit function. This function may enhance protection for the
computer, reducing exposure to viruses and malicious buffer overow attacks when working with its
supporting software and system. (Default: Enabled)
CPU Enhanced Halt (C1E)
(Note)
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)
C2/C2E State Support
(Note)
Allows you to determine whether to let the CPU enter C2/C2E mode in system halt state. When enabled,
the CPU core frequency and voltage will be reduced during system halt state to descrease power con-
sumption. (Default: Disabled)
C4/C4E State Support
(Note)
Allows you to determine whether to let the CPU enter C4/C4E mode in system halt state. When enabled,
the CPU core frequency and voltage will be reduced during system halt state to descrease power con-
sumption. C4/C4E state is a more enhanced power-saving state than C2/C2E. This item is congurable
only if the C2/C2E State Support option is enabled. (Default: Disabled)
CPU Thermal Monitor 2 (TM2)
(Note)
Enables or disables Intel CPU Thermal Monitor (TM2) function, a CPU overheating protection function.
When enabled, the CPU core frequency and voltage will be reduced when the CPU is overheated. (Default:
Enabled)
(Note) This item is present only if you install a CPU that supports this feature. For more information about
