3.5.1 CPU Configuration
The items in this menu show the CPU-related information that the BIOS
automatically detects.
The items shown in this screen may be different due to the CPU you installed.
Scroll down to display the following items:
Intel Adaptive Thermal Monitor [Enabled]
[Enabled] Enables the overheated CPU to throttle its clock speed to cool
down.
[Disabled] Disables the CPU thermal monitor function.
Hyper-Threading [Enabled]
This item appears only when a CPU supporting Hyper-Threading Technology
is installed. The Intel Hyper-Threading Technology allows a hyper-threading
processor to appear as two logical processors to the operating system, allowing
the operating system to schedule two threads or processes simultaneously.
