Press [Enter] to access advanced features of the CPU.
Delay Prior to Thermal
This BIOS feature is only valid for systems that are powered by 0.13µ Intel Pentium 4
processors with 512KB L2 cache.
These processors come with a Thermal Monitor that consists of an on-die thermal sensor and
a Thermal Control Circuit (TCC).
When the Thermal Monitor is in automatic mode and the thermal sensor detects that the
processor has reached its maximum safe operating temperature, it will activate the TCC. The
TCC will then modulate the clock cycles by inserting null cycles, typically at a rate of 50-70%
