• CPU Utilization
  Displays the percentage of the maximum workload the CPU is using.
• Max Core Frequency
  Displays the maximum operating speed of the processor using current settings.
• Package temperature
  Displays the current temperature of the CPU.

    caution:

  Consult the technical specifications of the CPU to determine its maximum safe operating temperature.

• Active core count
  Displays how many of the CPU cores are currently in use.

• CPU Utilization
  Displays the percentage of the maximum workload the CPU is using.
• CPU Temperature
  Displays the current temperature of the CPU.

    caution:

  Consult the technical specifications of the CPU to determine its maximum safe operating temperature.

• CPU Average Speed
  Displays an average of the current speeds of all the CPU cores.

note:

Performance mode might increase heat and noise levels.

• Balanced mode: Suitable for common tasks. Fan speed and power to the computer is balanced depending on the requirements of the activity.
• Performance mode: Suitable for gaming and content creation. Power is increased to the CPU and graphics to add maximum performance. Additional fan noise and heat is generated by increased fan speed.
• Thermal Control:
  • AUTO: The computer adjusts the fan speed depending on the load (amount of work it is performing). This is automatically controlled in the BIOS. This setting is the most efficient option for matching the required fan speed to the load on the system.
  • MAX: The fan operates at maximum speed regardless of the load, cooling the system as quick as possible. Additional fan noise and heat is generated.
  • MANUAL: Setting Thermal Control to MANUAL enables the System Fan Speed slide bar. Move the slide bar to adjust the system fan speed to your preferred fan speed range, reducing or increasing the noise and heat generated. The computer will automatically adjust the power to the CPU and GPU to match your preferred fan speed.
    • If you need higher performance, adjust the slider to the right to increase the fan speed. Increased fan speed generates more noise and heat.
    • If you need a quieter environment, adjust the slider to the left to reduce fan speed. Reduced fan speed will lower the performance of the computer.

note:

Low priority apps continue to work, using only network bandwidth not being used by higher priority apps.

• Change app priorities
  Click the priority level of the desired app to change the priority setting.

  note:

  The dual force slider must be in the OFF position to change app priorities.

  
• Block an app
  Click and drag the slider to the right to block an app from using bandwidth. The app can be unblocked at any time.
  
• Dual force
  Dual force enables the use of Ethernet and Wi-Fi at the same time. High priority apps are automatically assigned to Ethernet while all other apps are assigned to the Wi-Fi connection. This can be changed in the settings tab.
  

• Prioritization Mode
  The prioritization mode displays, as well as total upload, download, and bandwidth usage.
• Connection information
  Lists information about each available network connection. This includes the controller or adapter name, IP address, Mac address, and the maximum capacity for both Ethernet and Wi-Fi connections.
• Dual Force settings
  Use the dual force setting to determine which apps use which connection when there is an Ethernet and Wi-Fi connection. Use the slider next to each priority to determine the connection type used for all apps assigned that priority.

  note:

  The dual force slider must be in the OFF position to change dual force settings.
