Turbo Mode Parameters

Long Duration Power Limit [Auto]

The default setting of this item will be TDP (130W). For Sandy Bridge-E, Turbo Ratio can be kept a time duration exceed TDP for maximum performance. Any value under 255 can be programmed. Use the <+> and <-> keys to adjust the value.

Long Duration Maintained [Auto]

This value can vary from 1 to 32, which indicates the time window for Turbo Ratio over TDP should be maintained. Use the <+> and <-> keys to adjust the value.

Short Duration Power Limit [Auto]

This is the second power limit to provide rapid protection when package power exceeds Power Limit 1. Default setting is 1.25 times Power Limit 1. For Intel recommend, platform must be capable of supporting over Power Limit 2 for up to 10 msec. ASUS board can support over Power Limit 2 for a long duration. Use the <+> and <-> keys to adjust the value.

Additional Turbo Voltage [Auto]

Maximum additional voltage applied to the CPU when Turbo Boost is engaged. Use the <+> and <-> keys to adjust the value.

CPU Core Current Limit [Auto]

This item allows user to enter CPU Current Limit, unit in 0.125A. Use the <+> and <-> keys to adjust the value.
