IGX Configuration
The settings in this submenu are synchronous to those under the same items on the
MB Intelligent
Tweaker(M.I.T.)
main menu.
&
AMD C6 Support
Allows you to determine whether to let the CPU enter C6 mode in system halt state. When enabled, the
CPU core frequency will be reduced during system halt state to decrease power consumption.
The C6
state is a more enhanced power-saving state than C1. (Default: Disabled)
&
Virtualization
Virtualization enhanced by 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: Disabled)
&
AMD K8 Cool&Quiet control
±
Auto
Lets the AMD Cool'n'Quiet driver dynamically adjust the CPU clock and VID to reduce
heat output from your computer and its power consumption. (Default)
±
Disabled
Disables this function.
&
C-state Pmin
Allows you to determine whether to let the CPU enter C1 mode in system halt state. When enabled, the
CPU core frequency and voltage will be reduced during system halt state to decrease power consumption.
Auto
lets the BIOS automatically configure this setting. (Default: Auto)
&
Hard Disk Boot Priority
Specifies the sequence of loading the operating system from the installed hard drives.
Use the up or down arrow key to select a hard drive, then press the plus key <+> (or <PageUp>) or the
minus key <-> (or <PageDown>) to move it up or down on the list. Press <Esc> to exit this menu when
finished.
&
EFI CD/DVD Boot Option
Set this item to
EFI
if you want to install the operating system to a hard drive larger than 2.2 TB. Make sure
the operating system to be installed supports booting from a GPT partition, such as Windows 7 64-bit and
Windows Server 2003 64-bit.
Auto
lets the BIOS automatically configure this setting depending on the
hard drive you install. (Default: Auto)
