Advanced Processor Options

Access the submenu to make changes to the following settings.
CPU Speed
This is a display to indicate the speed of the CPU installed on the motherboard.
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 and x9.
Frequency High Ratio (Available when supported by the CPU)
The feature allows the user to set the internal frequency multiplier support for the
Intel Speedstep CPU. Please note that the system might hang if a wrong frequency
that is not supported by the CPU is selected. When this occurs, clear the CMOS
and re-confi gure this setting to recover the system. The default setting is x12.
Hyperthreading (Available when supported by the CPU)
Set to Enabled to use the Hyperthreading Technology, which will result in increased
CPU performance. The options are Disabled and Enabled.
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.
Compatible FPU Code (Available when supported by the CPU)
Set to Enabled to keep the content of the last instruction Operating Code (OPCode)
in the fl oating point (FP) state. 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.
