Parameter Description Options Ratio CMOS Setting This option allows the user to set the ratio between the CPU Core Clock and the FSB Frequency. C1E Support Select Enabled to enable Enhanced Halt State support. C1E significantly reduces the CPU's power consumption by reducing the CPU's clock cycle and voltage during a Halt State. Enabled Disabled Hardware Prefetcher (Available when supported by the CPU) If set to Enabled, the hardware prefetcher will prefetch streams of data and instructions from the main memory to the L2 cache to improve CPU performance. Enabled Disabled Adjacent Cache Line Prefetch (Available when supported by the CPU) The CPU prefetches the cache line for 64 bytes if this feature is set to Disabled. The CPU will prefetch both cache lines for 128 bytes as comprised if this feature is set to Enabled. Enabled Disabled MPS and ACPI MADT Ordering This feature allows the user to configure the MPS (Multi-Processor Specifi cations) and ACPI settings for the main board.
