CPU Internal Power Switching Frequency

Frequency Tuning Mode [Auto]

This item allows you to increase or decrease the switching frequency of the internal regulator. Decrease the switching frequency to reduce the power consumption or increase the switching frequency to enhance voltage stability. When this item is set to

[+]or [-], the Frequency Tuning Offset appears that allows you to set its value from 0% to 6%.

CPU Internal Power Fault Control

Thermal Feedback [Auto]

Allows your system to take precautionary actions to protect the CPU when the thermal condition of the external regulator exceeds the threshold. Configuration options: [Auto] [Disabled] [Enabled]

CPU Integrated VR Fault Management [Auto]

Disable this item to prevent tripping the Fully Integrated Voltage Regulator when doing over-voltage. We recommend you to disable this item when overclocking. Configuration options: [Auto] [Disabled] [Enabled]

CPU Internal Power Configuration

CPU Integrated VR Efficiency Management [Auto]

This item allows you to improve the power rating when the CPU is in low power state, or make the FIVR (fully integrated voltage regulator work in high performance at all times. Configuration options: [Auto] [High Performance] [Balanced]

Power Decay Mode [Auto]

This item allows your system to improve the power saving mode on the Fully Integrated Voltage Regulator as the processor goes into low current state. Configuration options: [Auto] [Disabled] [Enabled]

Idle Power-in Response [Auto]

This item allows you to set the slew rate for the Fully Integrated Voltage Regulator when it enters manual override mode. Configuration options: [Auto] [Regular] [Fast]

Idle Power-out Response [Auto]

This item allows you to set the slew rate for the Fully Integrated Voltage Regulator when it exits manual override mode. Configuration options: [Auto] [Regular] [Fast]

Power Current Slope [Auto]

This item allows you to enhance the power saving condition or the system overclocking capabiltity. Select a higher power current slope levels for power saving enhancement or lower power current slope levels for system overclocking enhancement. Configuration options: [Auto] [LEVEL -4] - [LEVEL 4]

Power Current Offset [Auto]

This item allows you to increase or decrease the output current sensed by the CPU. It finds the balance between optimal regulating while staying below the current threshold. Configuration options: [Auto] [100%] [87.5%] [75.0%] [62.5%] [50.0%] [37.5%] [25.0%] [12.5%] [0%] [-12.5%] [-25.0%] [-37.5%] [-50.0%] [-62.5%] [-75.0%] [-87.5%] [-100%]
