Allows you to manually adjust the maximum non-turbo CPU ratio. Use <+> and <-> keys or the numeric keypad to adjust the ratio. The valid value ranges vary according to your CPU model.

Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology [Enabled]

Allows you to enable or disable the Enhanced Intel® SpeedStep Technology (EIST).

[Disabled]

Disables this function.

[Enabled]

The operating system dynamically adjusts the processor voltage and

 

core frequency which may result in increased average consumption

 

and decrease average heat production.

Turbo Mode [Enabled]

[Enabled]

Allows processor cores to run faster than marked frequency in specific

 

conditions.

[Disabled]

Disables this function.

The following three items appear only when you set the Turbo Mode item to [Enabled].

Long Duration Power Limit [Auto]

Allows you to limit the turbo ratio’s long duration power. Use the <+> and <-> keys to adjust the value.

Allows you to maintain the turbo ratio’s long duration power. ���Use ���the ���<+> ���and ���<-> ����keys to adjust the value.

Short Duration Power Limit [Auto]

Allows you to limit the turbo ratio’s long duration power. Use��� the��� <+>��� and��� <���-> keys���� to�� adjust the value.

Primary Plane Current Limit [Auto]

Maximum instantaneous current allowed at any given time for CPU cores. ���Use ���<+> ���and <-> key to adjust the value at 0.125A increment.

Secondary Plane Current Limit [Auto]

Maximum instantaneous current allowed at any given time for Internal Graphics cores. Use <+> and <-> key to adjust the value at 0.125A increment.
