Chapter 3

▶CPU Under Voltage Protection [Auto]

Sets the voltage limit for CPU under-voltage protection. If set to "Auto", BIOS will configure this setting automatically. Higher voltage provides less protection and may damage the system.

▶CPU Over Current Protection [Auto]

Sets the current limit for CPU over-current protection. If set to "Auto", BIOS will configure this setting automatically. Higher percentage provides less protection and may damage the system.

▶CPU Switching Frequency [Auto]

Sets the PWM working speed to stabilize CPU Core voltage and minimize ripple range. Increasing the PWM working speed will cause higher temperature of MOSFET. So please make sure a cooling solution is well-prepared for MOSFET before you increase the value. If set to "Auto", BIOS will configure this setting automatically.

▶CPU VRM Over Temperature Protection [Enabled]

Enables or disables the CPU VRM over-temperature protection.

[Enabled]

Sets the temperature limit on CPU VRM for over-temperature

 

protection.

[Disabled]

Disables this function.

▶CPU Power Duty Control

Selects the method of VRM control for component's phase. [Thermal Balance] Control the VRM with thermal balance mode. [Current Balance] Control the VRM with current balance mode.

▶SVID Communication [Auto]

Enables or disables SVID (Serial Voltage Identification) support.

[Auto]

This setting will be configured automatically by BIOS.

[Enabled]

PWM phase will be changed dynamically according to the CPU SVID

 

(Serial Voltage Identification).

[Disabled]

Disables SVID (Serial Voltage Identification) support.

▶VCCIN Voltage [Auto]

Sets the CPU input voltage. The CPU input voltage is the CPU power source that is shared with components of the CPU.

▶Current VCCIN Voltage

Shows current CPU VCCIN voltage. Read-only.

CPU Core Voltage Mode/ CPU Ring Voltage Mode/ CPU GT Voltage Mode [Auto] Selects the control modes for these voltages.

[Auto]

This setting will be configured automatically by BIOS.

[Adaptive Mode]

Sets adaptive voltages automatically for optimizing the system

 

performance.

[Override Mode]

Allows you to set these voltages manually.

▶CPU Core Voltage/ CPU Ring Voltage/ CPU GT Voltage [Auto]

Sets these voltages. If set to "Auto", BIOS will set these voltages automatically or you can set it manually.
