&& C3 State Support (Note 1) Allows you to determine whether to let the CPU enter C3 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 state is a more enhanced power-saving state than C1. Auto lets the BIOS automatically configure this setting. (Default: Auto) && C6/C7 State Support (Note 1) Allows you to determine whether to let the CPU enter 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 C6/C7 state is a more enhanced power-saving state than C3. Auto lets the BIOS automatically configure this setting. (Default: Auto) && C8 State Support (Note 1) Allows you to determine whether to let the CPU enter C8 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 C8 state is a more enhanced power-saving state than C6/C7. Auto lets the BIOS automatically configure this setting. (Default: Auto) && Package C State Limit (Note 1) Allows you to specify the C-state limit for the processor. Auto lets the BIOS automatically configure this setting. (Default: Auto) && CPU Thermal Monitor (Note 1) Enables or disables Intel® 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® Speed Step 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) && Voltage Optimization Allows you to determine whether to enable voltage optimization to reduce power consumption. (Default: Disabled) && RSR Allows you to determine whether to automatically lower the CPU turbo ratio if the CPU voltage/temperature is too high. (Default: Enabled) && Hardware Prefetcher Allows you to determine whether to enable hardware prefetcher to prefetch data and instructions from the memory into the cache. (Default: Enabled) && Adjacent Cache Line Prefetch Allows you to determine whether to enable the adjacent cache line prefetch mechanism that lets the processor retrieve the requested cache line as well as the subsequent cache line. (Default: Enabled) && 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 when 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 is present only when you install a CPU and a memory module that support this feature. - 26 -

Auto
lets the BIOS automatically configure
this setting. (Default: Auto)
&
C6/C7 State Support
(Note 1)
Allows you to determine whether to let the CPU enter 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 C6/C7 state is a more enhanced power-saving state than C3.
Auto
lets the BIOS automatically configure
this setting. (Default: Auto)
&
C8 State Support
(Note 1)
Allows you to determine whether to let the CPU enter C8 mode in system halt state. When enabled, the CPU
