[. . . ] - 18 - (Note) && 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) && CPU EIST Function (Note 1) && Extreme Memory Profile (X. M. P. ) (Note 2) && System Memory Multiplier 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. && Memory Frequency (MHz) `` Advanced Memory Settings && Extreme Memory Profile (X. M. P. ) (Note 2), System Memory Multiplier, Memory Frequency(MHz) && Memory Boot Mode (Note) The settings above are synchronous to those under the same items on the Advanced Frequency Settings menu. (Default) Normal  Standard detection and training Fast  Skip memory detection and training in some specific criteria for faster memory boot. Coldboot  Detect and train memory at every single boot. && Memory Enhancement Settings && Memory Timing Mode 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. Manual   Allows you to control the fan speed under the Fan Speed Percentage item. This item is configurable only when CPU Fan Speed Control is set to Manual. Allows you to determine whether to enable the fan speed control function and adjust the fan speed. Normal Allows the fan to run at different speeds according to the system temperature. You can  adjust the fan speed with EasyTune based on your system requirements. Manual   Allows you to control the fan speed under the Fan Speed Percentage item. This item is configurable only when System Fan Speed Control is set to Manual. Options are: 0. 75 PWM value /oC ~ 2. 50 PWM value /oC. && System Fan Speed Control && Fan Speed Percentage `` Miscellaneous Settings && PCIe Slot Configuration && 3DMark01 Boost Allows you to set the operation mode of the PCI Express slots to Gen 1 or Gen 2. (Default: Auto) Allows you to determine whether to enhance some legacy benchmark performance. (Default: Disabled) - 21 - 2-3 System Information This section provides information on your motherboard model and BIOS version. You can also select the default language used by the BIOS and manually set the system time. && System Language && System Date Selects the default language used by the BIOS. && System Time Sets the system date. [. . . ] Press <Enter> on the device you select and select Yes to confirm. This function allows you to save the current BIOS settings to a profile. You can create up to 8 profiles and save as Setup Profile 1~ Setup Profile 8. Or you can select Select File in HDD/USB/FDD to save the profile to your storage device. [. . . ]
