3.3.1 CPU Configuration
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 [Disabled]. Configuration options:
[Enabled] and [Disabled]. If you install Windows
®
and want to enable this
function, please set this item to [Enabled]. This item will be hidden if the
current CPU does not support Intel SpeedStep technology.
CPU C States Support
Enable CPU C States Support for power saving. It is recommended to
keep C3 enabled, C6 and C7 disabled.
Enhanced Halt State (C1E)
Enable or disable Enhanced Halt State (C1E) for lower power
consumption.
No-Excute 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 code.
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.
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.
