Can someone explain how this works, or point me to documentation of instructions of use.

X-Cool is used when sub-zero cooling is being used (liquid nitrogen, dry ice, other "extreme" cooling) to help prevent "cold boot bugs" caused by such extreme low temperatures.

There is some info and discussion on the old forums here that may help:

You're welcome :)  I tried locating some more specific information about what the X-Cool jumper actually does.  Enabling it allows temperatures below -50*C (roughly) to be more accurately reported.  If you enable the X-Cool jumper with regular air-cooling, then you might experience problems with the CPU temp display being stuck at some high innacurate value.
 
Beyond correctly reporting lower temperatures, I'm not sure if it does anything else (like changing resistance/impedance) and/or if it opens up a larger range of possible CPU/VTT voltages in the BIOS on some boards, but I couldn't find any info beyond that.
