CPU Graphics VRM Switching Frequency
The switching frequency will affect the CPU Graphics transient response speed
and the component thermal production. Select manual mode to configure a higher
frequency to get a quicker transient response speed.
Configuration options: [Auto] [Manual]
DO NOT remove the thermal module when setting this item to [Manual]. The thermal
conditions should be monitored.
The following item appears only when CPU Graphics VRM Switching Frequency is set
to [Manual].
Fixed CPU Graphics Switching Frequency(KHz)
The switching frequency will affect the CPU Graphics transient response speed and
the component thermal production. Use the <+> or <-> to adjust the value. The values
range from 250 KHz to 500 KHz with an interval of 50 KHz.
Boot Voltages
CPU Core/Cache Boot Voltage
Allows you to set the CPU voltage at initial boot up. Use the <+> or <-> to adjust the
value. The values range from 0.600V to 1.700V with an interval of 0.001V.
Configuration options: [Auto] [0.60000] - [1.70000]
CPU Input Boot Voltage
Allows you to set the CPU Input Voltage at initial boot up. Use the <+> or <-> to adjust
the value. The values range from 1.500V to 2.100V with an interval of 0.010V.
Configuration options: [Auto] [1.50000] - [2.10000]
PLL Termination Boot Voltage
Allows you to set the PLL Termination voltage at initial boot up. Use the <+> or <-> to
adjust the value. The values range from 0.800V to 1.800V with an interval of 0.010V.
Configuration options: [Auto] [0.80000] - [1.80000]
CPU Standby Boot Voltage
Allows you to set the CPU Standby voltage at initial bootup. Use the <+> or <-> to
adjust the value. The values range from 0.800V to 1.800V with an interval of 0.010V.
Configuration options: [Auto] [0.80000] - [1.80000]
Memory Controller Boot Voltage
Allows you to set the Memory Controller voltage at initial bootup. Use the <+> or
<-> to adjust the value. The values range from 1.000V to 2.000V with an interval of
0.00625V.
Configuration options: [Auto] [1.00000] - [2.00000]
Auto Voltage Caps
CPU Core Auto Voltage Cap
Setting this to a specific value will set a ceiling for CPU Core Auto Voltage. When not
in manual mode, it’s effectiveness is subject to other factors such as AC/DC Loadline
values and CPU’s native VID. Use the <+> or <-> to adjust the value. The values
range from 0.600V to 1.700V with an interval of 0.001V.
Configuration options: [Auto] [0.60000] - [1.70000]
