& 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
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
Allows you to specify the C-state limit for the processor. Auto lets the BIOS automatically configure this
setting. (Default: Auto)
& CPU Thermal Monitor
Enables or disables Intel
®
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
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:
Enabled)
& Residency State Regulation (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.)
Allows the BIOS to read the SPD data on XMP memory module(s) to enhance memory performance when
enabled.
Disabled Disables this function. (Default)
Uses Profile 1 settings.
Profile1
Uses Profile 2 settings.
