C3/C6/C7 State Support, CPU Enhanced Halt C1E - chipset

Page 41 highlights

CPU Cores Enabled (Note) Allows you to determine whether to enable all CPU cores. All Enables all CPU cores. (Default) 1 Enables only one CPU core. 2 Enables only two CPU cores. 3 Enables only three CPU cores. CPU Multi-Threading (Note) Allows you to determine whether to enable multi-threading technology when using an Intel CPU that supports this function. This feature only works for operating systems that support multi-processor mode. (Default: Enabled) CPU Enhanced Halt (C1E) (Note) Enables or disables Intel CPU Enhanced Halt (C1E) function, a CPU power-saving function in system halt state. When enabled, the CPU core frequency and voltage will be reduced during system halt state to decrease power consumption. (Default: Enabled) 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 enabled, 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. (Default: Disabled) 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. (Default: Enabled) 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. (Default: Enabled) Bi-Directional PROCHOT (Note) 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. (Default) Disabled Only allows the CPU to detect whether an overheating is occurring to emit PROCHOT signals. Virtualization Technology (Note) Enables or disables Intel Virtualization Technology. Virtualization enhanced by Intel Virtualization Technology will allow a platform to run multiple operating systems and applications in independent partitions. With virtualization, one computer system can function as multiple virtual systems. (Default: Enabled) (Note) This item is present only if you install a CPU that supports this feature.

BIOS Setup
CPU Cores Enabled
(Note)
Allows you to determine whether to enable all CPU cores.
All
Enables all CPU cores. (Default)
1
Enables only one CPU core.
2
Enables only two CPU cores.
3
Enables only three CPU cores.
CPU Multi-Threading
(Note)
Allows you to determine whether to enable multi-threading technology when using an Intel CPU that
supports this function. This feature only works for operating systems that support multi-processor mode.
(Default: Enabled)
CPU Enhanced Halt (C1E)
(Note)
Enables or disables Intel CPU Enhanced Halt (C1E) function, a CPU power-saving function in system
halt state. When enabled, the CPU core frequency and voltage will be reduced during system halt state
to decrease power consumption. (Default: Enabled)
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. (Default: Disabled)
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. (Default:
Enabled)
CPU EIST Function

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. (Default: Enabled)
Bi-Directional PROCHOT
(Note)

When the CPU or chipset detects that an overheating is occurring, PROCHOT signals will
be emitted to lower CPU performance to decrease heat production. (Default)
Disabled
Only allows the CPU to detect whether an overheating is occurring to emit PROCHOT
signals.
