Items Function description

CPU Load-line Calibration

1 It allows you to adjust the voltage settings and control the system temperature. Higher load-line calibration could get higher voltage and good overclocking performance but increases the CPU and VRM thermal.

CPU Current Capability

2 CPU Current Capability provides wider total power range for overclocking. A higher value setting gets higher VRM power consumption delivery.

CPU Voltage Frequency

3 Switching frequency will affect the VRM transient response and component thermal. Higher frequency gets quicker transient response.

CPU/NB Load Line Calibration

4 Set to a higher value for system performance, or to a lower value for better thermal solution.

CPU/NB Current Capability

5 Setting CPU/NB Current Capability to a higher value increases the overclocking frequency range of the DRAM Controller.

CPU Power Phase Control

6 Increase phase number under heavy system loading to get more transient and better thermal performance. Reduce phase number under light system loading to increase VRM efficiency.

CPU Power Thermal Control

7 A higher temperature brings a wider CPU power thermal range, and extends the overclocking tolerance to enlarge overclocking potential.

CPU Power Duty Control

8 CPU Power Duty Control adjusts the current of every VRM phase and the thermal conditions of every phase component.

DRAM Current Capability

9 A higher value provides wider total power range and extends the overclocking frequency range simultaneously.

DRAM Fixed Frequency Mode

10 Allows you to adjust the DRAM switching frequency for system stability or to increase OC Range.

DRAM Power Phase Control

11 Select Extreme for full phase mode to increase system performance or select Optimized for ASUS optimized phase tuning profile to increase DRAM power efficiency.

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

• Do not remove the thermal module. The thermal conditions should be monitored.
