3 Chapter

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.

VRM Spread Spectrum [Disabled]

This item appears only when you set the Frequency item to [Auto] and allows you to enable the spread spectrum to enhance system stability.

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.

Configuration options: [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%] [130%] [140%]

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

CPU Power Thermal Control [130]

Allows you to extend the overclocking tolerance to enlarge the overclocking potential and provides a wider power thermal range.

Press <+> or <-> to set a value.

DO NOT remove the thermal module. Thermal conditions must be monitored regularly.

CPU Power Response Control [Auto]

Allows you to set a precise power response rate for your CPU for an extreme overclocking.

Configuration options: [Auto] [Regular: 100] [Medium: 150] [High: 200] [Ultra High: 250]

The actual performance boost varies depending on your CPU specification.

iGPU Load-line Calibration [Auto]

Allows you to set the iGPU Load-line Calibration.

Configuration options: [Auto] [Regular] [High] [Extreme]
