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]

The following three items appears only when you set the Turbo Mode to [Enabled].

Long Duration Power Limit [Auto]

Allows you to limit the turbo ratio’s long duration power.

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

Long Duration Maintained [Auto]

Allows you to maintain the turbo ratio’s long duration power.

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

Short Duration Power Limit [Auto]

Allows you to limit the turbo ratio’s long duration power.

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

Do not remove the thermal module while changing the DIGI+ Power Control related parameters . The thermal conditions should be monitored.

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

CPU Load-Line Calibration [Auto]

CPU Load-line is defined by Intel VRM spec and affects CPU voltage. The CPU working voltage will decrease proportionally to CPU loading. Higher load-line calibration would get higher voltage and better overclocking performance, but increase 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]
