CPU Configuration
► Delay Prior to Thermal (Appears only when CPU supports)
Some processors come with a Thermal Monitor which consists of a on-die thermal sensor and
a Thermal Control Circuit (TCC).
When the thermal sensor detects that the processor has reached its maximum safe operating
temperature, it will activate the TCC. The TCC will then modulate the clock cycles by inserting
null cycles, typically at a rate of 50-70% of the total number of clock cycles. This results in the
processor "resting" 50-70% of the time.
As the die temperature drops, the TCC will gradually reduce the number of null cycles until no
more is required to keep the die temperature below the safe point. Then the thermal sensor
turns the TCC off. This mechanism allows the processor to dynamically adjust its duty cycles
to ensure its die temperature remains within safe limits.
The Delay Prior To Thermal BIOS feature controls the activation of the Thermal Monitor's
mode. It allows you to determine when the Thermal Monitor should be activated after the sys-
tem boots. For example, with the default value of 16 Minutes, the BIOS activates the Thermal
Monitor 16 minutes after the system starts booting up.
Generally, the Thermal Monitor should not be activated immediately on booting as the proces-
sor will be under a heavy load during the booting process. Lower delay time unnecessarily
reduces the processor's performance during the booting up process.
Therefore, to ensure optimal booting performance, the activation of the Thermal Monitor must
be delayed for a set period of time.
It is recommended that you set this BIOS feature to the lowest value (in minutes) that exceeds
the time it takes to fully boot up your computer. For example, if it takes 5 minutes to fully boot
up your system, you should select 8 Minutes.
You should not select a delay value that is unnecessarily long. Without the Thermal Monitor,
your processor may heat up to a critical temperature (approximately 135°C), at which point the
thermal sensor shuts down your processor by removing the core voltage within 0.5 seconds.
