Branch 0 Rank Interleaving

Select enable to enable the functions of Memory Interleaving for Branch 0 Rank. The options for Memory Interleaving are 1:1, 2:1 and 4:1.

Branch 0 Rank Sparing

Select enable to enable the sparing feature for Branch 0 Rank. The options are Enabled and Disabled.

Enhanced x8 Detection

Select Enabled to enable Enhanced x8 DRAM UC Error Detection. The options are Disabled and Enabled.

High Temperature DRAM Operation

When set to Enabled, the BIOS will refer to the SPD table to set the maximum DRAM temperature. If disabled, the BIOS will set the maximum DRAM temperature based on a predefined value. The options are Enabled and Disabled.

AMB Thermal Sensor

Select Enabled to enable the thermal sensor embedded in Advanced Memory Buffer on a fully buffered memory module for thermal monitoring. The options are Disabled and Enabled.

Thermal Throttle

Select Enabled to enable the function of closed-loop thermal throttling on the fully buffered (FBD) memory modules. In the closed-loop thermal environment, thermal throttling will be activated when the temperature of the FBD DIMM device exceeds a predefined threshold. The options are Enabled and Disabled.

Global Activation Throttle

Select Enabled to enable the function of open-loop global thermal throttling on the fully buffered (FBD) memory modules and allow global thermal throttling to become active when the number of activate controls exceed a predefined number. The options are Enabled and Disabled.

Snoop Filter

Select Enabled to eliminate snoop traffic to the graphics port to greatly improve system performance when running graphics intensive applications. The options are Enabled and Disabled.

Crystal Beach Features

This feature cooperates with the Intel I/O AT (Acceleration Technology) to accelerate the performance of TOE devices. (*Note: A TOE device is a specialized, dedicated processor that is installed on an add-on card or a network card to handle some or all packet processing of this add-on card. For this motherboard, the TOE device is built inside the ESB 2 South Bridge chip.) The options are Enabled and Disabled.
