Gigabyte GA-Q170M-MK - CPU and System Performance Tuning; System Monitoring and Status

& Package C State Limit
(Note)
Allows you to specify the C-state limit for the processor. AutoletstheBIOSautomaticallycongurethis
setting. (Default: Auto)
& CPU Thermal Monitor
(Note)
Enables or disables Intel
®
Thermal Monitor function, a CPU overheating protection function. When enabled,
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)
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setting.
(Default: Auto)
& Voltage Optimization
Allows you to determine whether to enable voltage optimization to reduce power consumption. (Default:
Enabled)
& Residency State Regulation (RSR)
Allows you to determine whether to automatically lower the CPU turbo ratio if the CPU voltage/temperature
is too high. (Default: Enabled)
& Hardware Prefetcher
Allows you to determine whether to enable hardware prefetcher to prefetch data and instructions from the
memory into the cache. (Default: Enabled)
& Adjacent Cache Line Prefetch
Allows you to determine whether to enable the adjacent cache line prefetch mechanism that lets the
processor retrieve the requested cache line as well as the subsequent cache line. (Default: Enabled)
& 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second
is the memory frequency that is automatically adjusted according to the System Memory Multiplier settings.
` PC Health Status
& Reset Case Open Status
Disabled Keeps or clears the record of previous chassis intrusion status. (Default)
Enabled Clears the record of previous chassis intrusion status and the Case Openeldwill
show"No"atnextboot.
& Case Open
Displays the detection status of the chassis intrusion detection device attached to the motherboard CI
header.Ifthesystemchassiscoverisremoved,thiseldwillshow"Yes",otherwiseitwillshow"No".To
clear the chassis intrusion status record, set Reset Case Open Status to Enabled, save the settings to
the CMOS, and then restart your system.
& CPU Vcore/CPU VCCSA/DRAM Channel A/B Voltage/+3.3V/+5V/+12V/CPU VAXG
Displays the current system voltages.
& CPU/System Temperature
Displays current CPU/system temperature.
