C3/C6/C7 State Support (Note) Allows you to determine whether to let the CPU enter C3/C6/C7 mode in system halt state. When en- abled, the CPU core frequency and voltage will be reduced during system halt state to decrease power consumption. The C3/C6/C7 state is a more enhanced power-saving state than C1. Auto lets the BIOS automatically configure this setting. (Default: Auto) CPU Thermal Monitor (Note) 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) 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 set- ting. (Default: Auto) Bi-Directional PROCHOT (Note) Auto Enabled Disabled Lets BIOS automatically configure this setting. (Default) When the CPU or chipset detects that an overheating is occurring, PROCHOT signals will be emitted to lower CPU performance to decrease heat production. 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), x32, x36. The item is adjustable only if a CPU with unlocked clock ratio is installed. QPI Link Speed Displays the current operating QPI link speed. Uncore Clock Ratio Displays the Uncore clock ratio. Uncore Frequency This value is determined by multiplying the BLCK Frequency value by the Uncore Clock Ratio value. >>>>> 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) (Note) This item is present only if you install a CPU that supports this feature.
