Press  to enter the sub-menu and the followng screen appears:
Actve Processor Cores
Ths tem allows you to select the number of actve processor cores. 
Lmt CPUID Maxmum
It s desgned to lmt the lsted speed of the processor to older operatng systems.
Execute Dsable Bt
Intel’s  Execute  Dsable  Bt  functonalty  can  prevent  certan  classes  of  malcous 
“buffer  overflow”  attacks  when  combned  wth  a  supportng  operatng  system.  Ths 
functonalty allows the processor to classfy areas  n memory by where applcaton 
code  can  execute  and  where  t  cannot.  When  a  malcous  worm  attempts  to  nsert 
code  n  the  buffer,  the  processor  dsables  code  executon,  preventng  damage  or 
worm propagaton.

Overspeed  Protecton  functon  can  montor  the  current  CPU  draws  as  well  as  ts 
power consumpton. If  t exceeds a certan level, the processor automatcally reduces 
ts clock speed. If you want to overclock your CPU, set t to [Dsabled].
Intel C-State
C-state  s  a  power  management  state  that  sgnficantly  reduces  the  power  of  the 
processor  durng  dle.  Ths  field  wll  appear  after  you  nstalled  the  CPU  whch  sup
