Max CPUID Value Limit
The Maximum CPUID Value Limit determines the values that the operating system can write to
the CPUID's EAX register to obtain information about the processor.

Core Multi-Processing (AM4011)
This function and the screen associated with it are not supported. Leave this function at the
setting Enabled.
CPU Thermal Monitor (TM1/TM2) SDO
This function is used to specify the Thermal Monitor Feature. BIOS chooses Intel® Thermal
Monitor 1 (TM1) to control the processor temperature and the power consumption by activating
the Thermal Control Circuit (TCC) when the processor silicon reaches its maximum operating
temperature.
If the processor supports the Intel® Enhanced SpeedStep™ technology, BIOS chooses Intel®
Thermal Monitor 2 (TM2), which controls the processor temperature and power consumption
by initiating an Intel® Enhanced Speedstep™ Technology transition when the processor silicon
reaches its maximum operating temperature.
If Disabled is selected, the BIOS disables the Thermal Monitor 1 or the Thermal Monitor 2 Fea-
ture respectively, i.e. the BIOS disables the CPU built in automatic thermal throttling. If the CPU
becomes overheated, the AMC module will shut off automatically.
Optimal and Fail-Safe default settings: Enabled
Note: Intel® Thermal Monitor 1 or Intel® Thermal Monitor 2 must be enabled for the pro-
cessor to operate within specification.
