the pins, the jumper is “Short”. If no jumper cap is placed on the pins, the jumper is
“O pen”.

Clear CMOS Jumper
(CLRCMO S1)
(see p.8, No. 30)
CLRCMOS1 allows you to clear the data in CMOS. e data in CMOS includes
system setup information such as system password, date, time, and system setup
parameters. To clear and reset the system parameters to default setup, please
turn o the computer and unplug the power cord, then use a jumper cap to short
the pins on CLRCMOS1 for 3 seconds. Please remember to remove the jumper
cap aer clearing the CMOS. If you need to clear the CMOS when you just nish
updating the BIOS, you must boot up the system rst, and then shut it down
before you do the clear-CMOS action.

CPU Conguration
Boot Performance Mode
Default is Max Non-Turbo performance mode. It will keep cpu Flex-ratio till OS
hando. Max Battery mode will set CPU ratio as x8 till OS hando. is option is
suggested for BCLK overclocking.
FCLK Frequency
Congure the FCLK Frequency.
AVX Ratio Oset
AVX Ratio Oset species a negative oset from the CPU Ratio for AVX workloads.
AVX is a more stressful workload that lowers the AVX ratio to ensure maximum
possible ratio for SSE workloads.
BCLK Aware Adaptive Voltage
BCLK Aware Adaptive Voltage enable/disable. When enabled, pcode will be aware
of the BCLK frequency when calculating the CPU V/F curves. is is ideal for
BCLK OC to avoid high voltage overrides.
Ring to Core Ratio Oset
Disable Ring to Core Ratio Oset so the ring and core can run at the same
freq ue nc y.
Intel SpeedStep Technology
Intel SpeedStep technology allows processors to switch between multiple frequen-
cies and voltage points for better power saving and heat dissipation.
Intel Turbo Boost Technology
Intel Turbo Boost Technolog y enables the processor to run above its base operating
frequency when the operating system requests the highest performance state.
Intel Speed Shift Technology
Enable/Disable Intel Speed Shi Technology support. Enabling will expose the
CPPC v2 interface to allow for hardware controlled P-sates.
Long Duration Power Limit
Congure Package Power Limit 1 in watts. When the limit is exceeded, the CPU
ratio will be lowered aer a period of time. A lower limit can protect the CPU and
save power, while a higher limit may improve performance.
