BIOS Setup • CPU: An Intel® Processor with HT Technology; • Chipset: An Intel® Chipset that supports HT Technology; • BIOS: A BIOS that supports HT Technology and has it enabled; • OS: An operating system that supports HT Technology. For more information on Hyper-threading Technology, go to: http://www.intel.com/technology/platform-technology/hyper-threading/ ▶ Active Processor Cores This item allows you to select the number of active processor cores. ▶ Limit CPUID Maximum It is designed to limit the listed speed of the processor to older operating systems. ▶ Execute Disable Bit Intel's Execute Disable Bit functionality can prevent certain classes of malicious "buffer overflow" attacks when combined with a supporting operating system. This functionality allows the processor to classify areas in memory by where application code can execute and where it cannot. When a malicious worm attempts to insert code in the buffer, the processor disables code execution, preventing damage or worm propagation. ▶ Intel Virtualization Tech This item is used to enable/disable the Intel Virtualization technology. For further information please refer to Intel's official website. ▶ Intel VT-D Tech This item is used to enable/disable the Intel VT-D technology. For further information please refer to Intel's official website. ▶ Power Technology This item allows you to select the Intel Dynamic Power technology mode. ▶ C1E Support To enable this item to read the CPU power consumption while idle. Not all processors support Enhanced Halt state (C1E). ▶ OverSpeed Protection Overspeed Protection function can monitor the current CPU draws as well as its power consumption. If it exceeds a certain level, the processor automatically reduces its clock speed. If you want to overclock your CPU, set it to [Disabled]. ▶ Intel C-State C-state is a power management state that significantly reduces the power of the processor during idle. This field will appear after you installed the CPU which supports c-state technology. ▶ Package C-State limit This feild allows you to select a C-state mode. ▶ Long duration power limit(W) This field allows you to adjust the TDP limit for the long duration. ▶ Long duration maintained(ms) This field allows you to adjust the maintaining time for long duration power limit. 3-12
