OC Retry Count
When overclockng has faled, settng ths tem to [3,5] wll allow system to reboot
3/ 5 tmes wth the same overclocked conguraton. If overclockng has faled every
tme, the system wll restore the defaults.

Press <Enter> to enter the sub-menu. Ths sub-menu hghlghts all the key features of
your CPU. The nformaton wll vary by model and s read-only. You can also access ths
nformaton at any tme by pressng [F4]. Press <Enter> to enter the sub-menu.

Hyper-Threadng Technology
The processor uses Hyper-Threadng technology to ncrease transacton rates and
reduces end-user response tmes. The technology treats the two cores nsde the
processor as two logcal processors that can execute nstructons smultaneously. In
ths way, the system performance s hghly mproved. If you dsable the functon, the
processor wll use only one core to execute the nstructons. Please dsable ths tem
f your operatng system doesn’t support HT Functon, or unrelablty and nstablty
may occur.
Actve Processor Cores
Ths tem allows you to select the number of actve processor cores.
Lmt CPUID Maxmum
It s desgned to lmt the lsted speed of the processor to older operatng systems.
Execute Dsable Bt
Can prevent certan classes of malcous “buer overow” attacks where worms can
try to execute code to damage your system. It s recommended you keep ths en
-
abled always.
Intel Vrtualzaton Tech
Enhances vrtualzaton and allows the system to act as multple vrtual systems. See
Intel’s ocal webste for more nformaton.
Intel VT-D Tech
Ths tem s used to enable/dsable the Intel VT-D technology. For further nformaton
please refer to Intel’s ocal webste.
