CPU Thermal Monitor, CPU EIST Function, Bi-Directional PROCHOT, QPI Clock Ratio, QPI Link Speed, - overclock

Page 37 highlights

CPU Thermal Monitor (Note 1) Enables or disables Intel CPU 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 configure this setting. (Default: Auto) CPU EIST Function (Note 1) Enables or disables Enhanced Intel SpeedStep 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 configure this setting. (Default: Auto) Bi-Directional PROCHOT (Note 1) Auto Lets the BIOS automatically configure this setting. (Default) Enabled When the CPU or chipset detects that an overheating is occurring, PROCHOT signals will be emitted to lower CPU performance to decrease heat production. Disabled Only allows the CPU to detect whether an overheating is occurring to emit PROCHOT signals. QPI Clock Ratio Allows you to set the QPI clock ratio. Options are: Auto (default), x12~x44. The item is adjustable only if a CPU with unlocked clock ratio is installed. The adjustable range is dependent on the CPU being installed. QPI Link Speed Displays the current operating QPI link speed. >>>>> Standard Clock Control Base Clock(BCLK) Control Enables or disables the control of CPU base clock. Enabled will allow the BCLK Frequency(Mhz) item below to be configurable. Note: If your system fails to boot after overclocking, please wait for 20 seconds to allow for automated system reboot, or clear the CMOS values to reset the board to default values. (Default: Disabled) BCLK Frequency(Mhz) Allows you to manually set the CPU base clock. The adjustable range is from 100 MHz to 600 MHz. This item is configurable only if the Base Clock(BCLK) Control option is enabled. Important: It is highly recommended that the CPU frequency be set in accordance with the CPU specifications. Extreme Memory Profile (X.M.P.) (Note 2) Allows the BIOS to read the SPD data on XMP memory module(s) to enhance memory performance when enabled. Disabled Disables this function. (Default) Profile1 Uses Profile 1 settings. Profile2 (Note 2) Uses Profile 2 settings. (Note 1) This item is present only if you install a CPU that supports this feature. For more information about Intel CPUs' unique features, please visit Intel's website. (Note 2) This item appears only if you install a memory module that supports this feature. - 37 - BIOS Setup
