4.1.5 Configure CPU SKU Power
Nuvo-5000 series supports a long list of 6
th
-gen Skylake LGA1151 CPU with up to 65W
TDP. A unique feature, “
SKU Power Config
” is implemented in BIOS to allow users to
specify user-defined SKU power limit for installed CPU according to deployment
environment and power budget. For example, if a Nuvo-5000 controller with 65W i7-6700
CPU installed is deployed in the environment of 60°C ambient temperature, you can limit
the CPU to run with up to 45W TDP. This feature gives you the flexibility of CPU selection
and great balance between computing power and operating temperature range.
Here is our suggestion regarding specifying SKU power for system with 65W/54W/51W
CPU.
-
For system running at up to 70°C ambient, specify SKU power to 35 W.
-
For system running at up to 60°C ambient, specify SKU power to 45 W..
-
For system running at up to 50°C ambient, specify SKU power to Max. TDP.

2. Go to
[Power]
[Power & Performance]
.
