I think it will throttle back your chip speed if you reach % of certain temp.
that is why I ask ...with the inconsitent ambient temps and weather right now I get into trouble on warmer days when folding @ home. So if I could set it somehow to throttle back when it gets warm during the day perhaps I won't have to worry about it. Seems that when it (the cpu) reaches beyond 50c or acutally few degrees warmer it starts to send the wu's back and freaks out ...I'm hoping to set it to where it would throttle back at around 50c.
I don';t have a clue as to where to start however ...85%? 15% ...no clue what the percentages mean and how to tell the mb at what temp I want to throttle back.
it will be about 8 hours before i get home so in the meantime I'll do a little searching to see if I come up with anything at all. I'll post back if I see any concrete evidence on how this mess works.
It's like the 'hibernate' function expect instead of copying the contents of the memory onto the hard disk, then powering off, it simply powers everything down except the memory. So when you turn the pc back on again it resumes exactly where you left off.

That's what I was thinking ...so if I set it to 87.5% does this mean the processor will be running at a clock speed that allows it to use 12.5% less power while in the STR?
Less power less heat ...less heat more stable during the day when I'm not home. Sound good to you?
csimon had this to say That's what I was thinking ...so if I set it to 87.5% does this mean the processor will be running at a clock speed that allows it to use 12.5% less power while in the STR?
Honestly I have no idea, your guess is a good as mine. Up until a few moments ago, I had no idea that the thermal throttling function was STR related.
I don't quite get it to be honest, because I always presumed the CPU wasn't active while in STR mode. For the simple reason that surely if it was still switched on to some degree, it would need cooling and therefore it would need the CPU fan to be powered. But last time I used STR, everything was dead. Though admittedly I haven't tested out the STR mode on my NF7 yet.

Set that, then turn throttling on and just see what happens.
Check the abit forums. Maybe someone there has used it before.
curious to see what comes of it.
Yeah, I don't think it says jack about that function. I remember looking myself. I have mine set to default, which is what, 50%?
My manual says nothing about it either.
As Thrax said.. The CPU Shutdown temp feature does work
Is that simular to go to start to shudown? lol /nm
Scroll til you see "FREE Access to the BIOS Optimization Guide!" and click ...go to processor/cpu throttle and there is an excellent explanation.:bawling:

And I think I have disabled throttling.
Didn't know it was related to STR either.
