It means the motherboard can be set to a mode so Liquid Nitrogen can be used for cpu cooling.

The setting is used for extreme overclocking settings and expanded overclocking options when Liquid Nitrogen cooling is used on the cpu.

The feature is only present on high end motherboards in the £300 or more range in pricing.

The boards are used, or one equipped with a LN2 setting for professional overclocking of the cpu, in overclocking competitions.

Where the over clocking of the frequency of the cpu can often reach 7Ghz in speed from the stock speed setting using LN2 cooling of the cpu.

For the average home user there is no need to use the LN2 setting in the motherboards bios.

Because it is hard for the average user to obtain LN2.
And is restricted when it comes to public use.
Due to it`s volatile nature and miss use.

Plus it is also very expensive to produce.
