The following three items appear only when you set both the EIST and Turbo Mode items to [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+ 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]

Frequency switching affects the VRM transient response and the thermal component. Higher frequency gets quicker transient response. Use the <+> and <-> keys to adjust the value. The values range from 200k Hz to 350k Hz with a 50k Hz interval.

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

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.
