What Do These Terms Mean ?

[tomana]

I Googled 'what is AMD C6 Support' and nothing showed so I decided to list this, and the rest of the options, here ... in hopes of quick (and lazy on my part) answers

What are the following BIOS functions for/do (ref: Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3)?

AMD APM Master Mode
AMD C6 Support
AMD C1E Support
IOMMU Support
HPET Support
ErP Support
Load Line Control
Virtualization
EFI CD/DVD Boot Option
ACPI Suspend Type
Hardware Thermal Control

Dude, some of those terms are covered in your motherboard's manual.

 

[tomana]

Yup, some of them

What Danny means is, read your manual, learn the ones in there, and then post back with any that the manual DOESN'T cover.

The only one that i can see the manual does not cover is Load Line Control??? What does that do?

this helps minimize voltage drop or v droop under load. Setting it to extreme causes voltage to be higher than BIOS which isnt nessesscarily a bad thing...basically this prevents the voltage from dropping too low to run the processor at that speed. Youll have to play around to find the best settings for your chip though.
