Options are OS Control, Active Power Controller, Custom, or

BIOS pre-configures the power settings on this screen as follows:
OS Control sets the CPU power to OS DBPM, the fan power to
Minimum Power, and the memory power to Maximum
Performance. In this setting, all processor performance
information is passed from the system BIOS to the operating
system for control. The operating system sets the processor
performance based on processor utilization.

the fan power to Minimum Power, and the memory power to
Maximum Performance. In this setting, processor performance is
controlled by the system BIOS.
