[. . . ] (Default: Auto) && Core Current Limit (Amps) && No. of CPU Cores Enabled (Note) && Hyper-Threading Technology (Note) && CPU Enhanced Halt (C1E) (Note) && C3 State Support (Note) (Note) This item is present only when you install a CPU that supports this feature. For more information about Intel® CPUs' unique features, please visit Intel's website. - 20 - && C6/C7 State Support (Note 1) && CPU Thermal Monitor (Note 1) 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. (Default: Auto) Enables or disables Intel® Thermal Monitor function, a CPU overheating protection function. When enabled, the CPU core frequency and voltage will be reduced when the CPU is overheated. (Default: Auto) Enables or disables Enhanced Intel® Speed Step 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. (Default: Auto) Allows the BIOS to read the SPD data on XMP memory module(s) to enhance memory performance when enabled. (Default: Auto) 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 System Memory Multiplier settings. && CPU EIST Function (Note 1) && Extreme Memory Profile (X. M. P. ) (Note 2) && System Memory Multiplier && Memory Frequency (MHz) `` Advanced Memory Settings && Extreme Memory Profile (X. M. P. ) (Note), System Memory Multiplier, Memory Frequency(MHz) && Memory Boot Mode The settings above are synchronous to those under the same items on the Advanced Frequency Settings menu. (Default) Normal  Standard detection and training Fast  S  kip memory detection and training in some specific criteria for faster memory boot. Provides three different memory performance enhancement settings: Normal (basic performance), Enhanced Stability, and Enhanced Performance. (Default: Normal) Manual and Advanced Manual allows the Channel Interleaving, Rank Interleaving, and memory timing settings below to be configurable. Options are: Auto (default), Manual, Advanced Manual. && Memory Enhancement Settings && Memory Timing Mode (Note 1) This item is present only when 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 when you install a CPU and a memory module that support this feature. - 21 - && Profile DDR Voltage && Channel Interleaving When using a non-XMP memory module or Extreme Memory Profile (X. M. P. ) is set to Disabled, this item will display as 1. 50V. When Extreme Memory Profile (X. M. P. ) is set to Profile1 or Profile2, this item will display the value based on the SPD data on the XMP memory. && Rank Interleaving Enables or disables memory channel interleaving. Enabled allows the system to simultaneously access different channels of the memory to increase memory performance and stability. Enabled allows the system to simultaneously access different ranks of the memory to increase memory performance and stability. (Default: Auto) `` Channel A/B Memory Sub Timings This sub-menu provides memory timing settings for each channel of memory. [. . . ] If your system becomes unstable and you have loaded the BIOS default settings, you can use this function to load the BIOS settings from a profile created before, without the hassles of reconfiguring the BIOS settings. First select the profile you wish to load and then press <Enter> to complete. You can select Select File in HDD/USB/FDD to input the profile previously created from your storage device or load the profile automatically created by the BIOS, such as reverting the BIOS settings to the last settings that worked properly (last known good record). && Boot Override && Save Profiles && Load Profiles Chapter 3 Appendix Drivers Installation •• Before installing the drivers, first install the operating system. (The following instructions use Windows 8 as the example operating system. ) •• After installing the operating system, insert the motherboard driver disk into your optical drive. [. . . ]
