1-1.1 Special Features of the Motherboard
CPU Thermal Throttling Technology
To prevent increasing heat from damaging the CPU or causing accidental
shutdown while under high workloads, the CPU Thermal Throttling Technology
will force the CPU to enter an idle mode from 87.5% to 12.5% according to
preset CPU operating temperatures in the BIOS (from 40
to 90
). When the
system senses the CPU operating temperature reaching the preset value, the
CPU operating bandwidth will be decreased to the preset idle percentage
allowing the processor to cool down. When in throttling mode, a beeper sound
can be optionally selected to indicate it has reduced the CPU performance. (for
detailed settings, please read the BIOS PDF located on the CD)
