Instant Boot, a user-friendly tool that allows you to turn on your PC in just a few seconds, provides a much more efficient way to save energy, time, money, and improves system running speed for your system *. It is applicable to Windows® 7 / 7 64-bit / Vista™ / Vista™ 64-bit / XP / XP 64-bit.

Instant Boot leverages the S3 and S4 ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) features which normally enable the Sleep/Standby and Hibernation modes in Windows® to shorten boot up time. By calling S3 and S4 at specific timing during the shutdown and startup process, Instant Boot allows you to enter your Windows® desktop in a few seconds.

There are two modes of Instant Boot available: Fast Mode and Regular Mode. In Fast Mode, it uses S3 and takes only a few seconds for OS to resume to working state, which is 10 times faster than traditional boot up time (50 to 60 seconds). Even the Regular Mode is 3 times faster than traditional boot up time.

2020

Instant Boot guarantees a clean Windows® boot to consume less power, time and money without any accumulated garbage data, and you can still keep your data safe even there is a power cut. Also, the Windows® update speed will become faster.

* This function is applicable ONLY to single user that does not secure ID and Password to their systems. * The boot up time depends on the hardware configuration.

ASRock Instant Flash

ASRock Instant Flash is a BIOS flash utility embedded in Flash ROM. This convenient BIOS update tool allows you to update system BIOS without entering operating systems first like MS-DOS or Windows®. Just launch this tool and save the new BIOS file to your USB flash drive, floppy disk or hard drive, then you can update your BIOS only in a few clicks without preparing an additional floppy diskette or other complicated flash utility. Please be noted that the USB flash drive or hard drive must use FAT32/16/ 12 file system. If you execute ASRock Instant Flash utility, the utility will show the BIOS files and their respective information. Select the proper BIOS file to update your BIOS, and reboot your system after BIOS update process completes.

Enhance Halt State (C1E)

All processors support the Halt State (C1). The C1 state is supported through the native processor instructions HLT and MWAIT and requires no hardware support from the chipset. In the C1 power state, the processor maintains the context of the system caches.

Intel (R) Virtualization Tech

When this option is set to [Enabled], a VMM (Virtual Machine Architecture) can utilize the additional hardware capabilities provided by Vanderpool Technology.

CPU Thermal Throttling

Y ou may select [En abled] to en able CPU internal thermal control me cha nism to keep the CPU from overheated.

No-Excute Memory Protection

No-Execution (NX) Memory Protection Technology is an enhancement to the IA-32 Intel Architecture. An IA-32 proce ssor with “No Execute (NX) Memory Protection” can prevent data pages from being used by malicious software to execute code.

Hyper Threading Technology

To enable this feature, it requires a computer system with an Intel® processor that supports Hyper-Threading technology and an operating system that includes optimization for this technology, such as Microsoft® Windows® XP / VistaTM / 7. Set to [Enabled] if using Microsoft® Windows® XP / VistaTM / 7, or Linux kernel version 2.4.18 or higher.

Active Processor Cores

Use this item to select the number of cores to enable in each processor package. Configuration options: [All], [1] and [2]. The default value is [All].

A20M

Use this item to enable or disable A20M. Legacy OS and AP may need A20M enabled. The default value is [Disabled].

Intel (R) SpeedStep(tm) tech.

Intel (R) SpeedStep(tm) tech. is Intel’s new power saving technology. Processor can switch between multiple frequency and voltage points to enable power savings. The default value is [Enabled]. Configuration options: [Auto], [Enabled] and [Disabled]. If you install Windows® XP and select [Auto], you need to set the “Power Schemes” as “Portable/Laptop” to enable this function. If you install Windows® VistaTM / 7 and want to enable this function, please set this item to [Enabled].

Please note that enabling this function may reduce CPU voltage and lead to system stability or compatibility issue with some power supplies. Please set this item to [Disable] if above issue occurs.

Intel (R) TurboMode tech.

Turbo mode allows processor cores to run faster than marked frequency in specific condition. The default value is [Enabled].

TDC Limit Override

Program the thresholds for the current while in Turbo mode. The default value is [Disabled].

TDP Limit Override

Program the thresholds for the power while in Turbo mode. The default value is [Disabled].

Intel (R) C-STATE tech.

Intel (R) C-STATE tech. is achieved by making the power and thermal control unit part of the core logic and not part of the chipset as before. Migration of the power and thermal management flow into the processor allows us to use a hardware coordination mechanism in which each core can request any C-state it wishes, thus allowing for individual core savings to be maximized. The CPU C-state is determined and entered based on the lowest common denominator of both cores’ requests, portraying a single CPU entity to the chipset power management hardware and flows. Thus, software can manage each core independently, while the actual power management adheres to the platform and CPU shared resource restrictions.

C6 State

Use this to select Nehalem C state action.

C1 Audio Demotion

When this item is enabled, CPU will conditionally demote C3/C6/C7 requests to C1 based on uncore auto-demote information.
