CPU Load-line Calibration [Auto]
Load-line is dened by Intel
®
specication 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%.
Conguration options [Auto] [Level 1] - [Level 9]
The actual performance boost may vary depending on your CPU specication.
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 congure a higher frequency for a quicker transient
response speed.
Conguration 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.
Do not remove the thermal module when the manual mode is selected. The thermal
conditions should be monitored.
The following item appears only when the CPU VRM Switching Frequency is set to [Auto].
VRM Spread Spectrum [Disabled]
This item allows to enhance the system stability. Conguration options: [Disabled]
[Enabled]
CPU Power Phase Control [Auto]
This item allows you to set the power phase control of the CPU.
Conguration options: [Auto] [Standard] [Optimized] [Extreme]
DO NOT remove the thermal module when setting this item to [Power Phase Response].
The thermal conditions should be monitored.
