QPI L0s and L1

This enables the QPI power state to low power. L0s and L1 are automatically 

selected by the motherboard. The options are

 Disabled

 and Enabled.

Memory Frequency

This feature forces a DDR3 frequency slower than what the system has de-

tected.  The available options are 

Auto

, Force DDR-800, Force DDR-1066, 

Force DDR-1333.

Memory Mode 

The options are 

Independent

, Channel Mirror, Lockstep and Sparing.

Independent - All DIMMs are available to the operating system. 

Channel Mirror - The motherboard maintains two identical copies of all data in 

memory for redundancy.

Lockstep - The motherboard uses two areas of memory to run the same set of 

operations in parallel.

Sparing - A preset threshold of correctable errors is used to trigger fail-over. 

The spare memory is put online and used as active memory in place of the 

failed memory.

Demand Scrubbing 

A memory error-correction scheme where the Processor writes corrected data 

back into the memory block from where it was read by the Processor. The op-

tions are Enabled and

 Disabled

.

Patrol Scrubbing 

A memory error-correction scheme that works in the background looking for and 

correcting resident errors. The options are Enabled and

 Disabled

.

Throttling - Closed Loop/Throttling - Open Loop

Throttling improves reliability and reduces power in the processor by automatic 

voltage control during processor idle states. Available options are 

Disabled

 and 

Enabled. If Enabled, the following items will appear:

Hysteresis Temperature (For the Closed Loop only)

Temperature Hysteresis is the temperature lag (in degrees Celsius) after the 

set DIMM temperature threshold is reached before Closed Loop Throttling 

begins. The options are Disabled, 

1.5oC

, 3.0

o

C, and 6.0
