Limit CUPID Maximum
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 less than 3
.
