3.4.1 CPU Configuration CPU Ratio Setting Use this item to change the ratio value of this motherboard. Intel SpeedStep Technology Intel SpeedStep technology is Intel's new power saving technology. Processor can switch between multiple frequency and voltage points to enable power savings. The default value is [Enabled]. Con guration options: [Auto], [Enabled] and [Disabled]. If you install Windows® XP and select [Auto], you need to set the "Power Schemes" as "Portable/Laptop" to enable this function. If you install Windows® VistaTM / 7 and want to enable this function, please set this item to [Enabled]. This item will be hidden if the current CPU does not support Intel SpeedStep technology. Please note that enabling this function may reduce CPU voltage and lead to system stability or compatibility issue with some power supplies. Please set this item to [Disable] if above issue occurs. Intel Turbo Boost Technology Use this item to enable or disable Intel Turbo Boost Technology. Turbo Boost allows processor cores to run faster than marked frequency in speci c condition. The default value is [Enabled]. Intel Hyper Threading Technology To enable this feature, it requires a computer system with an Intel processor that supports Hyper-Threading technology and an operating system that includes optimization for this technology, such as Microsoft® Windows® XP / VistaTM / 7. Set to [Enabled] if using Microsoft® Windows® XP, VistaTM, 7, or Linux kernel version 2.4.18 or higher. This option will be hidden if the installed CPU does not support Hyper-Threading technology. Active Processor Cores Use this item to select the number of cores to enable in each processor package. The default value is [All]. 46

3.4.1 CPU Configuration
CPU Ratio Setting
Use this item to change the ratio value of this motherboard.
Intel SpeedStep Technology
Intel SpeedStep technology is Intel’s new power saving technology. Pro-
cessor can switch between multiple frequency and voltage points to en-
able power savings. The default value is [Enabled]. Con guration options:
[Auto], [Enabled] and [Disabled]. If you install Windows
®
XP and select
[Auto], you need to set the “Power Schemes” as “Portable/Laptop” to en-
able this function. If you install Windows
®
Vista
TM
/ 7 and want to enable
this function, please set this item to [Enabled]. This item will be hidden if
the current CPU does not support Intel SpeedStep technology.
Please note that enabling this function may reduce CPU voltage and lead to system
stability or compatibility issue with some power supplies. Please set this item to
[Disable] if above issue occurs.
Intel Turbo Boost Technology
Use this item to enable or disable Intel Turbo Boost Technology. Turbo
Boost allows processor cores to run faster than marked frequency in
speci c condition. The default value is [Enabled].
Intel Hyper Threading Technology
To enable this feature, it requires a computer system with an Intel
processor that supports Hyper-Threading technology and an operating
system that includes optimization for this technology, such as Microsoft
®
Windows
®
XP / Vista
TM
/ 7. Set to [Enabled] if using Microsoft
®
Windows
®
XP, Vista
TM
, 7, or Linux kernel version 2.4.18 or higher. This option will be
hidden if the installed CPU does not support Hyper-Threading technology.
Active Processor Cores
Use this item to select the number of cores to enable in each processor
package. The default value is [All].
