This item selects the type of thermal monitoring.
- TM2 Bus Ratio
This item represents the frequency (bus ratio) of the throttled performance state that will be
initiated when the on-die sensor goes from not hot to hot.
- TM2 Bus VID
This item represents the voltage of the throttled performance state that will be initiated when
the on-die sensor goes from not hot to hot.
Limit CPUID MaxVal
When set to [Enabled], this item limits the CPUID maximum value to 3, which is usually
required for older OS like Windows NT4.0.
Leave this item at its default [Disabled] settings for OS like Windows XP.
