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 voltage stability. When this item is set to [+] or [-], the Frequency Tuning Offset appears and allows you to set its value from 0% to 6%.

* CPU Integrated VR Current Limit only appear when you set the Turbo Mode to [Disabled].

CPU Internal Power Fault Control

Thermal Feedback [Auto]

Allows the CPU to take precautionary actions when the thermal conditions of the external regulator exceeds the threshold.

Configuration options: [Auto] [Disabled] [Enabled]

CPU Integrated VR Fault Management [Auto]

 

Allows you to prevent tripping the Fully Integrated Voltage Regulator when

 

doing over-voltage. Configuration options: [Auto] [Disabled] [Enabled]

 

We recommend to set this item to [Disable] when overclocking.

 

CPU Internal Power Configuration

 

CPU Integrated VR Efficiency Management [Auto]

 

Allows you to improve power saving when the processor is in low power

 

state. Disable this item to make the Fully Integrated Voltage Regulator work

 

in high performance at all times.

 

Configuration options: [Auto] [High Performance] [Balanced]

 

Power Decay Mode [Auto]

 

Allows you to enable this item to improve the power saving on the Fully

 

Integrated Voltage Regulator as the processor goes into low current state.

 

Configuration options: [Auto] [Disabled] [Enabled]

 

Idle Power-in Response [Auto]

 

Allows you to set the slew rate for the Fully Integrated Voltage Regulator as

 

it enters manual override mode.

 

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

 

Idle Power-out Response [Auto]

 

Allows you to set the slew rate for the Fully Integrated Voltage Regulator as

 

it exits manual override mode.

 

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

 

Power Current Slope [Auto]

 

Allows you to adjust the gradient of the high-speed active phase current

 

balance during load transients to eliminate current imbalance, resulting

 

from a load current oscillating near the switching frequency.

 

Configuration options: [Auto] [LEVEL -4] - [LEVEL 4]

 

Power Current Offset [Auto]

 

Allows you to increase or decrease the output current sensed by the CPU.

 

It finds the balance between optimal regulating while staying below the

 

current threshold.Configuration options: [Auto] [100%] [87.5%] [75.0%]
