CPU Voltage Frequency [Auto]

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

Configuration options: [Auto] [Manual]

DO NOT remove the thermal module when setting this item to [Manual]. The thermal conditions should be monitored.

The following items appear only when you set the CPU Voltage Frequency to [Auto].

VRM Spread Spectrum [Disabled]

Enable the VRM Spread Spectrum to enhance system stability.

Configuration options: [Disabled] [Enabled]

Active Frequency Mode [Disabled]

Set this item to Enabled to help enhance the power saving conditions while switching frequencies. While a higher frequency makes the VRM transient response much faster, switching frequencies affect the VRM thermal components.

Configuration options: [Disabled] [Enabled]

The following item appears only when you set the CPU Voltage Frequency to [Manual].

CPU Fixed Frequency [300]

This item allows you to set a fixed CPU frequency. Use the <+> or <-> keys to adjust the valinterval.

CPU Power Phase Control [Auto]

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

Configuration options: [Auto] [Standard] [Optimized] [Extreme] [Manual Adjustment]

[Auto]

Set the phase control on its default setting.

[Standard]

Set the phase control based on the CPU command.

[Optimized]

Set the ASUS optimized phase tuning profile.

[Extreme]

Set the full phase mode

[Manual

Set manually to a faster phase response to increase system

Adjustment]

performance or to slower phase response to increase DRAM power

 

efficiency.

The items VRM Spread Spectrum and Active Frequency Mode disappear when you set the CPU Power Phase Control to [Extreme].

DO NOT remove the thermal module when setting this item to [Extreme] and [Manual Adjustment]. The thermal conditions should be monitored.
