DIGI+ Power Control

CPU Load-line Calibration [Auto]

Load-line is defined by Intel® specification and affects CPU power voltage. The CPU working voltage decreases proportionally to CPU loading. Higher load-line calibration could get higher voltage and good overclocking performance, but increases the CPU and VRM thermal conditions. Select from levels 1 to 9 to adjust the CPU power voltage from 0% to 125%.

Configuration options [Auto] [Level 1] - [Level 9]

The actual performance boost may vary depending on your CPU specification.

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

CPU VRM Switching Frequency [Auto]

This item affects the VRM transient response speed and the component thermal production. Select [Manual] to configure a higher frequency for a quicker transient response speed.

Configuration options: [Auto] [Manual]

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

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

Fixed CPU VRM Switching Frequency (KHz) [300]

This item allows you to set a higher frequency for a quicker transient response speed. Use the <+> or <-> to adjust the value. The values range from 300 KHz to 500 KHz with an interval of 50 KHz.

VRM Spread Spectrum [Disabled]

This item allows to enhance the system stability.

Configuration options: [Disabled] [Enabled]

Active Frequency Mode [Disabled]

This item allows to enhance the power saving condition of your system. Configuration options: [Disabled] [Enabled]

CPU Power Phase Control [Auto]

This item allows you to set the power phase control of the CPU. Configuration options: [Auto] [Standard] [Optimized] [Extreme] [Power Phase Response]

DO NOT remove the thermal module when setting this item to [Power Phase Response]. The thermal conditions should be monitored.

The following item appears only when you set the CPU Power Phase Control to [Power Phase Response].
