Chapter 3: BIOS Setup

thermal monitor’s control circuit, when active, lowers the CPU temperature by throttling the internal CPU clock speed. This is done with a 50% duty-cycle, which means that a 2GHz CPU will then effectively run at a 1GHz clock speed. Due to the fast response time of the thermal monitor circuit (~50ns) the CPU will only be ‘throttled’ for a very brief period. Once the CPU-die temperature is within safe operating limits again it’ll set back to the 2GHz clock speed it originally operated at.

Thermal Monitor 2: Thermal Monitor 2 decreases or increases the CPU clock and core voltage according to the CPU load. This information is read from the five VID pins of the CPU. Accordingly, the CPU temperature is also automatically decreased, when the core voltage is decreased. This improves the CPU lifespan. The states switch is so fast that the performance decrease is insignificant.
