Thermal Management

This item selects the type of thermal monitoring.

- TM2 Bus Ratio

This item represents the frequency (bus ratio) of the throttled performance state that will be

initiated when the on-die sensor goes from not hot to hot.

- TM2 Bus VID

This item represents the voltage of the throttled performance state that will be initiated when

the on-die sensor goes from not hot to hot.

Limit CPUID MaxVal

When set to [Enabled], this item limits the CPUID maximum value to 3, which is usually

required for older OS like Windows NT4.0.

Leave this item at its default [Disabled] settings for OS like Windows XP.

C1E Function

This item appears only for certain processors with the C1E (Enhanced Halt State) Function.

When set to [Enabled], the processor will further reduce the total power consumption.
