DRAM 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%]

DRAM 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 Switching Frequency (KHz) [300]

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 500 KHz with an interval of 50 KHz.

DRAM Power Phase Control [Auto]

[Optimized]

Set to the ASUS optimized phase tuning profile.

[Extreme]

Set to the full phase mode.

Do not remove the thermal module when the extreme mode is selected. The thermal conditions should be monitored.

Internal CPU Power Management

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

Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology [Enabled]

This item 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]

This item 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].
