MSI® s regstered trademark of Mcro-Star Int'l Co. , Ltd. NVIDIA® s regstered trademark of NVIDIA Corporaton. [. . . ] Not all processors support Enhanced Halt state (C1E). OverSpeed Protecton Overspeed Protecton functon can montor the current CPU draws as well as ts power consumpton. If t exceeds a certan level, the processor automatcally reduces ts clock speed. If you want to overclock your CPU, set t to [Dsabled]. Hyper-Threadng Functon The processor uses Hyper-Threadng technology to ncrease transacton rates and reduces end-user response tmes. The technology treats the two cores nsde the processor as two logcal processors that can execute nstructons smultaneously. In ths way, the system performance s hghly mproved. If you dsable the functon, the processor wll use only one core to execute the nstructons. Please dsable ths tem f your operatng system doesn't support HT Functon, or unrelablty and nstablty may occur. Important Enablng the functonalty of Hyper-Threadng Technology for your computer system requres ALL of the followng platform Components: · CPU: An Intel® Processor wth HT Technology; · Chpset: An Intel® Chpset that supports HT Technology; · BIOS: A BIOS that supports HT Technology and has t enabled; · OS: An operatng system that supports HT Technology. For more nformaton on Hyper-threadng Technology, go to: http://www. ntel. com/products/ht/hyperthreadng_more. htm Execute Bt Support Intel's Execute Dsable Bt functonalty can prevent certan classes of malcous "buffer overflow" attacks when combned wth a supportng operatng system. Ths functonalty allows the processor to classfy areas n memory by where applcaton code can execute and where t cannot. When a malcous worm attempts to nsert code n the buffer, the processor dsables code executon, preventng damage or worm propagaton. Set Lmt CPUID MaxVal to 3 The Max CPUID Value Lmt s desgned lmt the lsted speed of the processor to older operatng systems. Intel Vrtualzaton Tech Ths tem s used to enable/dsable the Intel Vrtualzaton technology. For further nformaton please refer to Intel's offical webste. Intel VT-d Tech Ths tem s used to enable/dsable the Intel Vrtualzaton Technology for Drected I/O (VT-d). For further nformaton please refer to Intel's offical webste. Actve Processor Ths tem allows you to select the number of actve processor cores. 3-20 MS-7587 Intel EIST The Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology allows you to set the performance level of the mcroprocessor whether the computer s runnng on battery or AC power. Ths field wll appear after you nstalled the CPU whch supports speedstep technology. C1E Support To enable ths tem to read the CPU power consumpton whle dle. Not all processors support Enhanced Halt state (C1E). Intel Turbo Boost Ths tem wll appear when you nstall a CPU wth Intel Turbo Boost technology.
