Chapter 4: BIOS Setup
The following item appears only when CPU VRM Switching Frequency is set to [Manual].
Fixed CPU VRM Switching Frequency (KHz)
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 250 to 500 with an interval of 50.
The following item appears only when CPU VRM Switching Frequency is set to [Auto].
VRM Spread Spectrum
This item allows you to reduce the magnitude of peak noise from the
VRM. Enable this item to reduce peak noise. Disable this settings when
overclocking.
Conguration options: [Auto] [Disabled] [Enabled]
The following item appears only when VRM Spread Spectrum is set to [Disabled].
Active Frequency Mode
Enable this item to enhance the power saving option.
Conguration option: [Disabled] [Enabled]
CPU Power Duty Control
CPU power duty control adjusts the duty cycle of each VRM phase based upon current
and/or temperature.
[T. Probe] Select to set the VRM thermal balance mode.
[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
This item allows you to set the power phase control of the CPU.
Conguration options: [Auto] [Standard] [Extreme]
DO NOT remove the thermal module when setting this item to [Extreme]. The thermal
conditions should be monitored.
The following items appear only when using the onboard graphics.
CPU Graphics Load-line Calibration
The load-line is dened by the Intel VRM specication and affects the CPU Graphics
power voltage. The CPU Graphics working voltage will decrease proportionally
depending on the CPU Graphics loading Higher levels of the load-line calibration can
get a higher voltage and a better overclocking performance but increase the CPU
Graphics and VRM thermal production. Select from level 1 to 7 to adjust the CPU
Graphics power voltage from 100% to 15%.
Conguration options: [Auto] [Level 1] - [Level 7]
