CPU Power Thermal Control [130]

A higher temperature brings a wider CPU power thermal range and extends the overclocking tolerance to enlarge the O.C. potential. Use the <+> and <-> keys to adjust the value. The values range from 130 to 151.

DO NOT remove the thermal module. The thermal conditions should be monitored.

CPU Input Boot Voltage [Auto]

VCCIN for the CPU right at boot. Configuration options: [Auto] [0.800] – [2.440V]

DRAM Current Capability [100%]

A higher value brings a wider total power range and extends the overclocking range simultaneously.

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

DRAM Voltage Frequency [Auto]

Allows you to adjust the DRAM switching frequency. Assign a fixed high DRAM frequency to increase the overclocking range or a low DRAM frequency for a better system stability.

Configuration options: [Auto] [Manual]

The following item appears only when you set set the DRAM Frequency Mode item to [Manual].

DRAM Fixed Frequency Mode [300]

Allows you to set a fixed DRAM frequency. Use the <+> or <-> keys to adjust the value. The values range from 300kHz to 500kHz with a 50kHz interval.

DRAM Power Phase Control [Auto]

Allows you to set the power phase control of the DRAM.

[Auto]

Allows you to set the Auto mode.

[Optimized]

Allows you to set the ASUS optimized phase tuning profile.

[Extreme]

Allows you to set the full phase mode.

Tweakers’ Paradise

The subitems in this menu allow you to set the CPU ratio and features.

BCLK Tuning

VCCIN Shadow Voltage [Auto]

Pseudo Voltage for VCCIN. Configuration options: [Auto] [0.800] – [2.440V]

Termination Anti-Aliasing [Auto]

Termination Anti-Aliasing can be enabled to smooth out the change of the PLL Termination Voltage, which may something help to yield a better O.C. result. Configuration options: [Auto] [Disabled] [Enabled]
