1-1.1 Special Features of the Motherboard

CPU Thermal Throttling Technology

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 (from 40to 90). When the system senses the CPU operating temperature reaching the preset value, the CPU operating bandwidth will be decreased to the preset idle percentage allowing the processor to cool down. When in throttling mode, a beeper sound can be optionally selected to indicate it has reduced the CPU performance. (for detailed settings, please read the BIOS PDF located on the CD)
