MSI H61M-P31/W8 manual MS-7788

MS-7788

*The greater the Spread Spectrum value is, the greater the EMI is reduced, and the system will become less stable. For the most suitable Spread Spectrum value, please consult your local EMI regulation.

*Remember to disable Spread Spectrum if you are overclocking because even a slight jitter can introduce a temporary boost in clock speed which may just cause your overclocked processor to lock up.

DRAM Voltage

This item is used to adjust the memory voltage.

CPU Features

Press <Enter> to enter the sub-menu. In this sub-menu you can adjust the CPU features.

Hyper-Threading

The processor uses Hyper-Threading technology to increase transaction rates and reduces end-user response times. The technology treats the two cores inside the processor as two logical processors that can execute instructions simultaneously. In this way, the system performance is highly improved. If you disable the function, the processor will use only one core to execute the in- structions. Please disable this item if your operating system doesn’t support HT Function, or unreliability and instability may occur.

Active Processor Cores

This item allows you to select the number of active processor cores.

Limit CPUID Maximum

It is designed to limit the listed speed of the processor to older operating sys- tems.

Execute Disable Bit

Can prevent certain classes of malicious “buffer overflow” attacks where worms can try to execute code to damage your system. It is recommended you keep this enabled always.

Intel Virtualization Tech

Enhances virtualization and allows the system to act as multiple virtual sys- tems. See Intel’s official website for more information.

Intel VT-D Tech

This item is used to enable/disable the Intel VT-D technology. For further infor- mation please refer to Intel’s official website.

Power Technology

This item allows you to select the Intel Dynamic Power technology mode.

C1E Support

Enable system to reduce CPU power consumption while idle. Not all processors support Enhanced Halt state (C1E).

OverSpeed Protection

Monitors current CPU draw as well as power consumption; if it exceeds a cer- tain level, the processor automatically reduces its clock speed. For overclock- ing, it is recommended this feature is disabled.
