CPU/NB Currrent Capability [Auto]

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

Configuration options: [Auto] [100%] [110%] [120%] [130%]

CPU Power Phase Control [Standard]

Phase number is the number of woorking VRM phase. Increasing phase number under heavy system loading to get more transient and better thermal performance. Reducing phase number under light system loading to increase VRM efficiency

[Standard]

Proceeds phase control depending on the CPU loading.

[Optimized]

Loads the ASUS optimized phase tuning profile.

[Extreme]

Proceeds the full phase mode.

[Manual Adjustment]

Allows manual adjustment.

CPU Voltage Frequency [Auto]

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

Configuration options: [Auto] [Manual]

VRM Fixed Frequency Mode

This item appears only when you set the CPU Voltage Frequency to [Manual]. It allows you to set a fixed frequency range for the VRM. The values range from 200KHz to 400KHz with a 10KHz interval.

VRM Spread Spectrum [Disabled]

This item appears only when you set the CPU Voltage Frequency to [Auto]. It allows you to enable the spread spectrum to enhance system stability.

Configuration options: [Disabled] [Enabled]

CPU Power Duty Control [T.Probe]

This item adjusts the current and thermal of every VRM phase component.

[T.Probe]

Maintains the VRM thermal balance.

[Extreme]

Maintains the VRM current balance.

CPU Power Response Control [Auto]

Allows you to control the CPU Power Response.

Configuration options: [Auto] [Regular] [Medium] [Fast] [Ultra Fast]

CPU/NB Power Response Control [Auto]

Allows you to control the CPU/NB Power Response.

Configuration options: [Auto] [Regular] [Medium] [Fast] [Ultra Fast]

CPU Power Thermal Control [130]

Allows you to control the CPU Power thermal value.

Configuration options: [130] ~ [151]
