2.4.10DRAM Voltage [Auto]

Allows you to set the DRAM voltage. The values range from 1.35V to 2.00V with a 0.005V interval.

2.4.11SB 1.1V Voltage [Auto]

Allows you to set the Southbridge 1.1V voltage. The values range from 1.1V to 1.4V with a 0.01V interval.

2.4.121.1VSB Voltage [Auto]

Allows you to set the 1.1VSB voltage. The values range from 1.1000V to 1.4000V with a 0.1V interval.

2.4.13APU1.2V Voltage [Auto]

Allows you to set the APU (Accelerated Processor Unit) 1.2V voltage. The values range from 1.2000V to 1.8000V with a 0.01V interval.

2.4.14VDDA Voltage [Auto]

Allows you to set the VDDA voltage. The values range from 2.5000V to 2.8000V with a 0.1V interval.

• The values of the CPU Offset Voltage, VDDNB Offset Voltage, DRAM Voltage, SB 1.1V Voltage, 1.1VSB Voltage, APU1.2V Voltage, and VDDA Voltage items are labeled in different color, indicating the risk levels of high voltage settings.

•The system may need better cooling system to work stably under high voltage settings.

2.4.15DIGI+ VRM

CPU Load-Line Calibration [Auto]

Load-line Calibration is defined by AMD VRM specifications and affects CPU voltage. The CPU working voltage will decrease proportionally to CPU loading. Higher load-line calibration would get higher voltage and better overclocking performance, but increase the CPU and VRM thermal. This item allows you to adjust the voltage range from the following percentages to boost the system performance: 0% (Regular), 60% (Medium), 80% (High), and 100% (Extreme). Configuration options: [Auto] [Regular] [Medium] [High] [Extreme]

The actual performance boost may vary depending on your CPU specification.

CPU/NB Load Line Calibration [Auto]

Allows you to select the CPU/NB Load-Line Calibration mode.

Configuration options: [Auto] [Regular] [High] [Extreme]

CPU Current Capability [100%]

This item provides wider total power range for overclocking. A higher value brings a wider total power range and extends the overclocking frequency range simultaneously.
