performance, you should set the item to higher values.
CPU Feature
Press <Enter> to enter the sub-menu:
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.
Set Limit CPUID MaxVal to 3
The Max CPUID Value Limit is designed to limit the listed speed of the
processor to older operating systems.
Chipset Feature
Press <Enter> to enter the sub-menu:
HPET
