DO NOT remove the thermal module. The thermal conditions should be monitored.

CPU Current Capability [Auto]

This item provides a total power range for CPU overclocking. A higher value setting provides higher power consumption delivery and extends the overclocking frequency range simultaneously.

Configuration options: [Auto] [100%] [110%] [120%] [130%] [140%]

CPU Power Thermal Control [130]

A higher temperature brings a wider CPU power thermal range and extends the overclocking tolerance to enlarge the overclocking potential. Use the <+> or <-> keys to adjust the value. The values depend on the CPU installed.

DO NOT remove the thermal module. The thermal conditions should be monitored.

DRAM AB/CD Current Capability [100%]

This item adjusts the total power range for DRAM overclocking. Set a higher value to provide a wider total power range and extends the overclocking frequency range simultaneously.

Configuration options: [100%] [110%] [120%] [130%] [140%]

DRAM AB/CD Switching Frequency [Auto]

This item affects the overclocking range and system stability. Set this item to [Manual] to manually set a fixed DRAM switching frequency for an increased overclocking range or enhanced system stability.

The following item appears only when you set the DRAM Switching Frequency to [Manual].

Fixed DRAM AB/CD Switching Frequency (KHz) [500]

This item allows you to set a higher frequency for an increased overclocking range or a lower frequency for an enhanced system stability. Use the <+> or <-> to adjust the value. The values range from 300 KHz to 550 KHz with an interval of 50 KHz.

DRAM Power Phase Control (CHA-CHB/CHC-CHD) [Disabled]

This item allows you to enable/disable the DRAM power phase control. Configuration options: [Enabled] [Disabled]

Internal CPU Power Management

The subitems in this menu allow you to set the CPU ratio and its features.

Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology [Enabled]

This item allows the operating system to dynamically adjust the processor voltage and cores frequency which decreases the average power consumption the average heat production.

Configuration options: [Enabled] [Disabled]
