ROG MAXIMUS XII FORMULA BIOS Manual
CPU Load-line Calibration
Load-line is defined by Intel
®
specification 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.
Configuration options [Auto] [Level 1] [Level 2] [Level 3] [Level 4:Recommended for
OC] [Level 5] [Level 6] [Level 7] [Level 8]
The actual performance boost may vary depending on your CPU specification.
DO NOT remove the thermal module. The thermal conditions should be monitored.
Current CPU Load-line Calibration
Synch ACDC Loadline with VRM Loadline
Enable this item to allow the VRM Loadline to be adjusted automatically to match the
AC/DC Loadline.
Configuration options: [Enabled] [Disabled]
CPU Current Capability
This item allows you to set the shut off current limit for external voltage regulator. A
higher setting will allow the voltage regulator to supply more current while a lower
setting will cause the voltage regulator to shut off the system when the supplied
current is higher than the set value.
Configuration options: [Auto] [100%] - [140%]
Configure higher values when overclocking or under a high loading for extra power
support.
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.
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)
This item allows you to set a higher frequency for a quicker transient
response speed.
Configuration options: [300KHz] - [1000KHz]
