Question I want highest performance and do not need to save energy. What bios settings are required? System is 2028TP-HC1TR. Answer 1. Set Power Technology to “Disable” inside BIOS under: CPU Configuration :: Advance Power Management Configuration. 2. Set PCIe transfer buffer for “Maximum Payload” and “Maximum Read Request” according to maximum message size to be sent, preferably 256K and 512K for 64 byte message sizes. 3. Set IPMI fan speed to FULL. 4. Disabling unused devices such as USB controllers and SCU controller (PCH chipset’s storage controller) can help reduce system interrupts. Was this FAQ helpful?
