󰁈Intel Adaptive Thermal Monitor [Enabled]
Enables or disables the Intel adaptive thermal monitor function to protect the CPU
from overheating.
[Enabled] Throttles down the CPU core clock speed when the CPU is over the
adaptive temperature.
[Disabled] Disables this function.
󰁈Intel C-State [Auto]
C-state is a processor power management technology defined by ACPI.
[Auto] This setting will be configured automatically by BIOS.
[Enabled] Detects the idle state of system and reduce CPU power consumption
accordingly.
[Disabled] Disable this function.
󰁈C1E Support [Disabled]
Enables or disables the C1E function for power-saving in halt state. This item
appears when “Intel C-State” is enabled.
[Enabled] Enables C1E function to reduce the CPU frequency and voltage for
power-saving in halt state.
[Disabled] Disables this function.
󰁈Package C State limit [Auto]
This item allows you to select a CPU C-state mode for power-saving when system
is idle. This item appears when "Intel C-State" is enabled.
[Auto] This setting will be configured automatically by BIOS.
[C0~C6] The power-saving level from high to low is C6, C2, then C0.
󰁈CFG Lock [Enabled]

dynamically. It can decrease average power consumption and
average heat production.
[Disabled] Disables EIST.
󰁈Intel Turbo Boost [Enabled]
Enables or disables the Intel
®
Turbo Boost. This item is for Simple mode and
appears when the installed CPU supports this function.
[Enabled] Enables this function to boost CPU performance automatically above
rated specifications when system request the highest performance
state.
[Disabled] Disables this function.
󰁈Long Duration Power Limit (W) [Auto]
Sets the long duration TDP power limit for CPU in Turbo Boost mode.
󰁈Long Duration Maintained (s) [Auto]
Sets the maintaining time for "Long duration power Limit(W)".
