Energy Performance BIAS Setting (ENERGY PERFORMANCE BIAS
CONFIGURATION Mode) (Available when "Power Performance Tuning" is set to
BIOS Controls EPB)
Use this feature to set the processor power use policy to achieve the desired operation
settings for your machine by prioritizing system performance or energy savings. Select
Maximum Performance to maximize system performance (to its highest potential); however,
this may result in maximum power consumption as energy is needed to fuel the processor
frequency. The higher the performance is, the higher the power consumption will be. Select
Max Power Efficient to maximize power saving; however, system performance may be
substantially impacted because limited power use decreases the processor frequency. The
options are Max Performance, Performance, Balanced Performance, Balanced Power,
and Power.

Custom)
SpeedStep (P-States)
EIST (Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology) allows the system to automatically adjust

dissipation. Please refer to Intel's website for detailed information. The options are Disable
and Enable.
Config (Configure) TDP (Available when SpeedStep is set to Enable)
Use this feature to set the appropriate TDP (Thermal Design Power) level for the system.
The TDP refers to the maximum amount of power allowed for running "real applications"
without triggering an overheating event. The options are Normal, Level 1, and Level 2.
