Delay Prior To Thermal
This field is used to select the time that would force the CPU to a
50% duty cycle when it exceeds its maximum operating temperature
therefore protecting the CPU and the system board from overheat-
ing to ensure a safe computing environment..
Limit CPUID MaxVal
The CPUID instruction of some newer CPUs will return a value
greater than 3. The default is Disabled because this problem does
not exist in the Windows series operating systems. If you are using
an operating system other than Windows, this problem may occur. To
avoid this problem, enable this field to limit the return value to 3 or
lesser than 3.
C 1 E Function
The options are Auto and Disabled.
Execute Disable Bit
When this field is set to Disabled, it will force the XD feature flag to
always return to 0.
