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

DRAM Current Capability [100%]

A higher value brings a wider total power range, and extends the overclocking range simultaneously.

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

DRAM Voltage Frequency [Auto]

Allows you to adjust the DRAM switching frequency. Assign a fixed high DRAM frequency to increase the O.C. range, or a low DRAM frequency for a better system stability.

Configuration options: [Auto] [Manual]

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

DRAM Fixed Frequency Mode [300]

Allows you to set a fixed DRAM frequency to increase the overclocking range or a low DRAM frequency for better system stability. Use the <+> or <-> keys to adjust the value. The values range from 300kHz to 500kHz with a 50kHz interval.

DRAM Power Phase Control [Auto]

[Auto]

Allows you to set the Auto mode.

[Optimized]

Allows you to set the ASUS optimized phase tuning profile.

[Extreme]

Allows you to set the full phase mode.

CPU Power Management

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

Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology [Enabled]

Allows the operating system to dynamically adjust the processor voltage and cores frequency, resulting to a decreased average power consumption and decreased average heat production.

Configuration options: [Disabled] [Enabled]

Turbo Mode [Enabled]

Allows you to enable your core processor’s speed to run faster than the base operating frequency when it is below operating power, current and temperature specification limit.

Configuration options: [Disabled] [Enabled]

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

Turbo Mode Parameters

Long Duration Package Power Limit [Auto]

Allows you to limit the Turbo Ratio’s time duration that exceeds the TDP (Thermal Design Power) for maximum performance. Use the <+> or <-> keys to adjust the value. The values range from 1W t0 4096W.
