CPU VRM Switching Frequency
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. Setting a higher switching frequency will result in better transient
response at the expense of higher VRM temperatures. Active cooling of the VRM
heatsink is recommended when running high CPU voltage and high load-line calibration
values.
Configuration options: [Auto] [Manual]
DO NOT remove the thermal module. The thermal conditions should be monitored.
The following item appears only when
CPU VRM Switching Frequency
is set to
[Manual]
.
Fixed CPU VRM Switching Frequency(KHz)
Allows you to set a higher frequency for a quicker transient response speed. The
values range from 250 KHz to 500 KHz with an interval of 50 KHz.
The following item appears only when
CPU VRM Switching Frequency
is set to
[Auto]
.
VRM Spread Spectrum
Allows you to reduce the magnitude of peak noise from the VRM. Enable this item to
reduce peak noise. Disable this settings when overclocking.
Configuration options: [Auto] [Disabled] [Enabled]
CPU Power Duty Control
CPU power duty control adjusts the duty cycle of each VRM phase based upon current
and/or temperature.
[Auto] Automatically selects the power duty control.
[T. Probe] Sets the buck controller to balance VRM FET temperatures
[Extreme] Select to set the VRM current balance mode.
DO NOT remove the thermal module when setting this item to
[Extreme]
. The thermal
conditions should be monitored.
CPU Power Phase Control
Allows you to set the power phase control of the CPU.
[Auto] Automatically selects the power phase control.
[Standard] The number of active phases is controlled by the CPU.
[Extreme] Sets full phase mode.
DO NOT remove the thermal module when setting this item to
[Extreme]
. The thermal
conditions should be monitored.
