▶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.

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).

▶OverSpeed Protection

Overspeed Protection function can monitor the current CPU draws as well as its power consumption. If it exceeds a certain level, the processor automatically reduces its clock speed. If you want to overclock your CPU, set it to [Disabled].

▶Intel C-State

C-state is a power management state that significantly reduces the power of the processor during idle. This field will appear after you installed the CPU which sup- ports c-state technology.
