CPU Current Capability

CPU Current Capability provides wider total power range for overclocking. A higher value brings a wider total power range and extends the overclocking frequency range simultaneously.

CPU Load-line Calibration

It allows you to adjust the voltage range to control the CPU Load-line. Adjust to a high value for system performance or to a low value for power efficiency.

CPU Power Duty Control

CPU Power Duty Control adjusts the current of every VRM phase and the thermal of every phase component.

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

Do not remove the thermal module. The thermal conditions should be monitored.

Visit the ASUS website at www.asus.com for detailed software configuration.
