Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology [Enabled]

Allows you to enable or disable the Enhanced Intel® SpeedStep Technology (EIST).

[Disabled]

Disables this function.

[Enabled]

The operating system dynamically adjusts the processor voltage and

 

core frequency which may result in decreased average consumption and

 

decreased average heat production.

Turbo Mode [Enabled]

Allows you to enable your core processor’s speed to run faster than the marked frequency in a specific condition.

Configuration options: [Disabled] [Enabled]

Long Duration Power Limit [Auto]

Use the <+> and <-> keys to adjust the value.

Long Duration Maintained [Auto]

Use the <+> and <-> keys to adjust the value.

Short Duration Power Limit [Auto]

Use the <+> and <-> keys to adjust the value.

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.

DIGI+ Power Control

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 Voltage Frequency [Auto]

Frequency switching affects the VRM transient response, and the thermal component. Higher frequency gets quicker transient response.

Configuration options: [Auto] [Manual]

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