X7DA3+ User's Manual
Advanced Processor Options
Access the submenu to make changes to the following settings.
CPU Speed
This is a display that indicates the speed of the installed processor.
Frequency Ratio (Available when supported by the CPU.)
The feature allows the user to set the internal frequency multiplier for the CPU. The
options are: Default, x12, x13, x14, x15, x16, x17 and x18. (Note: The settings
can be different, depending on the CPU speed.)
Core-Multi-Processing (Available when supported by the CPU.)
Set to Enabled to use a processor's Second Core and beyond. (Please refer to
Intel's web site for more information.) The options are Disabled and Enabled.
Machine Checking (Available when supported by the CPU.)
Set to Enabled to activate the function of Machine Checking and allow the CPU to
detect and report hardware (machine) errors via a set of model-specifi c registers
(MSRs). The options are Disabled and Enabled.
Thermal Management 2 (Available when supported by the CPU.)
Set to Enabled to use Thermal Management 2 (TM2) which will lower CPU voltage
and frequency when the CPU temperature reaches a predefi ned overheat threshold.
Set to Disabled to use Thermal Manager 1 (TM1), allowing CPU clocking to be
regulated via CPU Internal Clock modulation when the CPU temperature reaches
the overheat threshold.
C1 Enhanced Mode (Available when supported by the CPU.)
Set to Enabled to enable Enhanced Halt State to lower CPU voltage/frequency to
prevent overheat. The options are Enabled and Disabled. Note: please refer to
Intel's web site for detailed information.
Execute Disable Bit (Available when supported by the CPU and the
OS.)
Set to Enabled to enable Execute Disable Bit and allow the processor
to classify
areas in memory where an application code can execute and where
it cannot, and thus preventing a worm or a virus from inserting or creating a fl ood
of codes to overwhelm the processor or damage the system during an attack.
(Note: this feature is available when your OS and your CPU support the function
of Execute Disable Bit.) The options are Disabled and Enabled. Note: For more
information regarding hardware/software support for this function, please refer to
Intel's and Microsoft's web sites.
