& No. of CPU Cores Enabled
(Note 1)
Allows you to select the number of CPU cores to enable in an Intel
®
multi-core CPU (the number of CPU
coresmayvarybyCPU).AutoletstheBIOSautomaticallycongurethissetting.(Default:Auto)
& Hyper-Threading Technology
(Note 1)
Allows you to determine whether to enable multi-threading technology when using an Intel
®
CPU that
supports this function. This feature only works for operating systems that support multi-processor mode.

& CPU Enhanced Halt (C1E)
(Note 1)
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. Auto

& C3 State Support
(Note 1)
Allows you to determine whether to let the CPU enter C3 mode in system halt state. When enabled, the
CPU core frequency and voltage will be reduced during system halt state to decrease power consumption.
The C3 state is a more enhanced power-saving state than C1. Auto

& 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 consumption.
The C6/C7 state is a more enhanced power-saving state than C3. Auto

& C8 State Support
(Note 1)
Allows you to determine whether to let the CPU enter C8 mode in system halt state. When enabled, the CPU
core frequency and voltage will be reduced during system halt state to decrease power consumption. The
C8 state is a more enhanced power-saving state than C6/C7. Auto

& Package C State Limit
(Note 1)
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 1)
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 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

(Note 2)
 AllowstheBIOStoreadtheSPDdataonXMPmemorymodule(s)toenhancememoryperformancewhen
enabled.
