BIOS Setup
- 38 -
CPU Thermal Monitor
(Note 1)
Enables or disables Intel CPU Thermal Monitor function, a CPU overheating protection function. When
enabled, 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 SpeedStep Technology (EIST). Depending on CPU loading, 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 set-
ting. (Default: Auto)
Bi-Directional PROCHOT
(Note 1)
Auto
Lets BIOS automatically configure this setting. (Default)
Enabled When the CPU or chipset detects that an overheating is occurring, PROCHOT signals will
be emitted to lower CPU performance to decrease heat production.
Disabled Only allows the CPU to detect whether an overheating is occurring to emit PROCHOT
signals.
>>>>> Standard Clock Control
BCLK/DMI/PEG Clock Control
Enables or disables the control of CPU base clock and DMI/PCIe bus frequency. Enabled will allow the
BCLK/DMI/PEG Frequency(0.1MHz) item below to be configurable. Note: If your system fails to boot
after overclocking, please wait for 20 seconds to allow for automated system reboot, or clear the CMOS
values to reset the board to default values. (Default: Disabled)
BCLK/DMI/PEG Frequency(0.1MHz)
Allows you to manually set the CPU base clock and DMI/PCIe bus frequency. The adjustable range is
from 800 MHz to 2000 MHz. This item is configurable only if the BCLK/DMI/PEG Clock Control option is
enabled.
Important: It is highly recommended that the CPU frequency be set in accordance with the CPU specifications.
Extreme Memory Profile (X.M.P.)
(Note 2)
Allows the BIOS to read the SPD data on XMP memory module(s) to enhance memory performance
when enabled.
Disabled
Disables this function. (Default)
Profile1
Uses Profile 1 settings.
Profile2
(Note 2)
Uses Profile 2 settings.
System Memory Multiplier (SPD)
Allows you to set the system memory multiplier. Auto sets memory multiplier according to memory SPD
data. (Default: Auto)
Memory Frequency(Mhz)
The first memory frequency value is the normal operating frequency of the memory being used; the
second is the memory frequency that is automatically adjusted according to the BCLK/DMI/PEG
Frequency(0.1MHz) and System Memory Multiplier settings.
(Note 1) This item is present only if you install a CPU that supports this feature. For more information about
Intel CPUs' unique features, please visit Intel's website.
(Note 2) This item is present only if you install a memory module that supports this feature.
