MSI H67MS-E23 (B3) manual

MS-7680 Mainboard

▶CPU Features

Press <Enter> to enter the sub-menu.

▶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 instructions. Please disable this item if your operating system doesn’t support HT Function, or unreliability and instability may occur.

Important

Enabling the functionality of Hyper-Threading Technology for your computer system requires ALL of the following platform Components:

•CPU: An Intel® Processor with HT Technology;

•Chipset: An Intel® Chipset that supports HT Technology;

•BIOS: A BIOS that supports HT Technology and has it enabled;

•OS: An operating system that supports HT Technology.

▶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 systems. ▶Execute Disable Bit

Intel’s Execute Disable Bit functionality can prevent certain classes of malicious “buffer overflow” attacks when combined with a supporting operating system. This functionality allows the processor to classify areas in memory by where application code can execute and where it cannot. When a malicious worm attempts to insert code in the buffer, the processor disables code execution, preventing damage or worm propagation.

▶Intel Virtualization Tech

This item is used to enable/disable the Intel Virtualization technology. For further information please refer to Intel’s official website.

▶Power Technology

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

▶C1E Support

To enable this item to read the CPU power consumption while idle. Not all processors support Enhanced Halt state (C1E).
