X. " For example, "REV: 1. 0" means the revision of the motherboard is 1. 0. [. . . ] (Default: Disabled) L  ets the AMD Cool'n'Quiet driver dynamically adjust the CPU clock and VID to reduce heat output from your computer and its power consumption. (Default) Disables this function. && CPB Ratio (Note) && CPU Unlock (Note) && Cool & Quiet Enabled  Disabled  && C1E Support && SVM Allows you to determine whether to let the CPU enter C1 mode in system halt state. When enabled, the CPU core frequency and voltage will be reduced during system halt state to decrease power consumption. (Default: Enabled) Virtualization enhanced by Virtualization Technology will allow a platform to run multiple operating systems and applications in independent partitions. With virtualization, one computer system can function as multiple virtual systems. (Default: Enabled) (Note) This item is present only when you install a CPU that supports this feature. - 21 - && CPU core Control (Note 1) && Core C6 State (Note 1) Allows you to determine whether to manually enable/disable CPU cores. Automatic mode allows the BIOS to enable all CPU cores (number of cores available depends on the CPU being used). (Default: Automatic mode) Allows you to determine whether to let the CPU enter C6 mode in system halt state. When enabled, the CPU core frequency will be reduced during system halt state to decrease power consumption. (Default: Enabled) Allows you to determine whether to enable High Performance Computing (HPC) mode for the CPU. Displays current CPU/system/power fan speed. && CPU/System/Power Fan Fail Warning Sets the warning threshold for CPU temperature. Options are: Disabled (default), 60oC/140oF, 70oC/158oF, 80oC/176oF, 90oC/194oF. && CPU Fan Control Mode Allows the system to emit warning sound if the fan is not connected or fails. (Default: Disabled) Auto   Lets the BIOS automatically detect the type of CPU fan installed and sets the optimal CPU fan control mode. Allows you to determine whether to enable the fan speed control function and adjust the fan speed. Normal   Allows the fan to run at different speeds according to the CPU temperature. You can adjust the fan speed with System Information Viewer based on your system requirements. Manual  Allows you to control the fan speed under the Slope PWM item. Disabled  Allows the fan to run at full speeds. && CPU Fan Speed Control && Slope PWM Allows you to control the CPU fan speed. This item is configurable only when CPU Fan Speed Control is set to Manual. - 23 - && 1st System Fan Speed Control (SYS_FAN1 Connector) && Slope PWM Allows you to determine whether to enable the fan speed control function and adjust the fan speed. Normal   Allows the fan to run at different speeds according to the system temperature.
