Intel(R) QPI Frequency
Select
Auto Max
6.4 GT/s
7.2 GT/s
8.0 GT/s
Allows for selecting the
Intel
®
QuickPath
Interconnect Frequency.
Recommended to leave in
[Auto Max] so that the
BIOS can select the
highest common Intel
®
QuickPath Interconnect
frequency.
Lowering the QPI frequency may
improve performance per watt for
some processing loads and on
certain benchmarks. [Auto Max] will
give the maximum QPI performance
available. Appears only on multi-
socket boards.
When a multi-socket board has only
one processor installed, this will be
grayed out, with the previous value
remaining displayed.
Changes in QPI Link Frequency will
not take effect until the system
reboots, so this will not immediately
change the QPI Link Frequency
display. Changing QPI Link
Frequency does not affect the QPI
Link Speed.
Intel(R) Turbo Boost
Technology
Enabled
Disabled
Intel
®
Turbo Boost
Technology allows the
processor to automatically
increase its frequency if it
is running below power,
temperature, and current
specifications.
This option is only visible if all
processors installed in the system
support Intel
®
Turbo Boost
Technology. In order for this option
to be available, Enhanced Intel
SpeedStep
®
Technology must be
Enabled.
Enhanced Intel
SpeedStep(R) Tech
Enabled
Disabled
Enhanced Intel
SpeedStep
®
Technology
allows the system to
dynamically adjust
processor voltage and core
frequency, which can
result in decreased
average power
consumption and
decreased average heat
production.
Contact your OS vendor
regarding OS support of
this feature.
When Disabled, the processor
setting reverts to running at Max
TDP Core Frequency (rated
frequency).
This option is only visible if all
processors installed in the system
support Enhanced Intel SpeedStep
®
Technology. In order for the Intel
®
Turbo Boost option to be available,
Enhanced Intel SpeedStep
®
Technology must be Enabled.
