Intel SpeedStep Technology
Intel SpeedStep technology is Intel’s new power saving technology. Pro-
cessors can switch between multiple frequencies and voltage points to en-
able power saving. The default value is [Enabled]. Configuration options:
[Enabled] and [Disabled]. If you install Windows
®
8 / 8.1 and want to en-
able this function, please set this item to [Enabled]. This item will be hid-
den if the current CPU does not support Intel SpeedStep technology.
3.3.1 CPU Configuration
Please note that enabling this function may reduce CPU voltage and lead to system
stability or compatibility issues with some power supplies. Please set this item to
[Disabled] if above issues occur.
CPU C States Support
Enable CPU C States Support for power saving. It is recommended to
keep C3, C6 and C7 all enabled for better power saving.
Enhanced Halt State (C1E)

No-Execute Memory Protection
No-Execution (NX) Memory Protection Technology is an enhancement
to the IA-32 Intel Architecture. An IA-32 processor with “No Execute (NX)
Memory Protection” can prevent data pages from being used by malicious
software to execute codes. This option will be hidden if the current CPU
does not support No-Excute Memory Protection.
Intel Virtualization Technology
When this option is set to [Enabled], a VMM (Virtual Machine Architecture)
can utilize the additional hardware capabilities provided by Vanderpool
Technology. This option will be hidden if the installed CPU does not
support Intel Virtualization Technology.
