BIOS Setup, Intel C-State

Page 58 highlights

BIOS Setup level, the processor automatically reduces its clock speed. For overclocking, it is recommended this feature is disabled. ▶ Intel C-State C-state is a power management state that detects when the system is idle and lowers power consumption accordingly. ▶ Package C State limit This field allows you to select a C-state mode. ▶ Long duration power limit (W) This field allows you to adjust the TDP power limit for the long duration. ▶ Long duration maintained (s) This field allows you to adjust the maintaining time for long duration power limit. ▶ Short duration power limit (W) This field allows you to adjust the TDP power limit for the short duration. ▶ Primary/ Secondary plane turbo power limit (W) These fields allow you to adjust the TDP limit for the primary/ secondary plane turbo. ▶ 1/2/3/4-Core Ratio Limit These fields show the 1/2/3/4 core ratio limit of CPU. 2-16
