SSE/ SSE2 Instructions

This item allows you to enable or disable the SSE/SSE2 (Stream SIMD Extensions) instructions.

CPU Thermal-Throttling

To prevent increasing heat from damaging the CPU or causing accidental shutdown while under high workloads, the CPU Thermal Throttling Technology will force the CPU to enter an idle mode from 87.5% to 12.5% according to preset CPU operating temperatures in the BIOS.

MCP78 PCIE training

The cards supporting gen2 mode will be trained in Gen2 mode by BIOS. The options are Only Gen1 and Gen2 if supported.

HPET Support

This function allows you to enable or disable the High Precision Even Timer (HPET). When Enabled, HPET is used as the timing hardware for multimedia and other time-sensitive application. When HPET is Disabled, the APIC timer is used.
