CPU Current Capability [Auto]

Allows you to configure the total power range, and extends the overclocking frequency range simultaneously. Configuration options: [Auto] [100%] [110%] [120%] [130%] [140%]

Choose a higher value when overclocking, or under a high CPU loading for extra power support.

Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology [Enabled]

Allows you to enable or disable the Enhanced Intel® SpeedStep Technology (EIST).

[Disabled]

Disables this function.

[Enabled]

The operating system dynamically adjusts the processor voltage and

 

core frequency which may result in decreased average consumption and

 

decreased average heat production.

Turbo Mode [Enabled]

Allows you to enable your core processor’s speed to run faster than the marked frequency in a specific condition. Configuration options: [Disabled] [Enabled]

• Turbo Mode is only available on selected CPU models only.

• The following first three items appear only when you set the Turbo Mode to [Enabled].

Short Duration Package Power Limit [Auto]

Allows you to limit the turbo ratio’s short duration power. Use the <+> and <-> keys to adjust the value.

CPU Integrated VR Current Limit [Auto]

Allows you to set a higher current limit to prevent frequency and power throttling when overclocking. Use the <+> and <-> keys to adjust the value.

CPU Internal Power Switching Frequency

Frequency Tuning Mode [Auto]

Allows you to increase or decrease the switching frequency of the internal regulator. Decrease to help consume less power or increase to help votlage stability. Configuration options: [Auto] [+] [-]
