DIGI+ VRMCPU Load-Line Calibration [Auto]

Load-line is defined by Intel VRM specifications, and affects CPU voltage. The CPU working voltage will decrease proportionally to CPU loading. Higher value gets a higher voltage, and a better overclocking performance, but increases the CPU and VRM thermal conditions.

This item allows you to adjust the voltage range from the following percentages to boost the system performance: 0% (Regular), 25% (Medium), 50% (High), 75% (Ultra High) and 100% (Extreme). Configuration options: [Auto] [Regular] [Medium] [High] [Ultra High] [Extreme]

The actual performance boost may vary depending on your CPU specification.

CPU Voltage Frequency [Auto]

Switching frequency affects the VRM transient response, and the component thermal. Setting a higher frequency gets faster transient response.

[Auto]

Allows you to enable or disable the Spread Spectrum item.

[Manual]

Allows you to manually set the frequency with a 10k Hz interval.

 

 

 

DO NOT remove the thermal module when switching to Manual Mode. The thermal

 

conditions should be monitored.

CPU Fixed Frequency [xxx]

This item appears only when you set the CPU Voltage Frequency item to [Manual] and allows you to set a fixed CPU frequency. Use the <+> and <-> keys to adjust the value. The values range from 200k Hz to 400k Hz with a 10k Hz interval.

CPU Power Phase Control [Standard]

Allows you to control the power phase based on the CPU’s demands. Configuration options: [Standard] [Optimized] [Extreme] [Manual Adjustment]

DO NOT remove the thermal module when switching to Extreme and Manual Mode. The thermal conditions should be monitored.

CPU Power Duty Control [T.Probe]

DIGI + VRM Duty control adjusts the current and thermal conditions of every component’s phase.

[T. Probe]

Select to maintain the VRM thermal balance.

[Extreme]

Select to maintain the current VRM balance.

CPU Current Capability [100%]

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

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