Primary Plane Current Limit [Auto]

Maximum instantaneous current allowed at any given time for CPU cores Use <+> and <-> key to adjust the value at 0.125A increment. .

Secondary Plane Current Limit [Auto]

Maximum instantaneous current allowed at any given time for Internal Graphics cores. Use <+> and <-> key to adjust the value at 0.125A increment.

Some of the following items are adjusted by typing the desired values using the numeric keypad and press <Enter>. You can also use the <+> and <-> keys to adjust the value. To restore the default setting, type [auto] using the keyboard and press <Enter>.

2.4.8DIGI+ VRM

CPU Load-Line Calibration [Auto]

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

Switching frequency will affect the VRM transient response and component thermal. Setting a higher frequency gets faster transient response.The values range from 200K to 350K with a 50K interval. Use <+>/<-> to adjust the value.

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%]

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