CPU TM Function: TM (Thermal Mananagement) enabled will slow down your CPU clockspeed when it reaches certain temperature. [I had this disabled and C1E support enabled, and the fan was always spinning max. I have this setting now disabled.]

C1E Support: Enabled, it lowers multiplier and vcore when idle. [I have this now disabled.]
