IA SoC Iccmax Reactive Protector
Configuration options: [Auto] [Disabled] [Enabled]
Inverse Temperature Dependency Throttle
Configuration options: [Auto] [Disabled] [Enabled]
IA VR Voltage Limit [Auto]
Voltage Limit (VMAX). This value represents the Maximum instantaneous voltage
allowed at any given time. Range is 0 - 7999mV. Uses BIOS VR mailbox command
0x8.
Configuration options: [Auto] [0] - [7999]
CPU SVID Support
Disable this item to stop the CPU from communicating with the external voltage
regulator.
Configuration options: [Auto] [Disabled] [Enabled]
Thermal Velocity Boost
Cache Dynamic OC Switcher
Enabling this dynamically switches back and forth between High Cache mode and
Low Cache mode based on current threshold specified.
Configuration options: [Auto] [Disabled] [Enabled]
The following items appear only when Cache Dynamic OC Switcher is set to [Enabled].
Current Threshold to Switch to Low Cache Gear
Set this threshold to control when the Cache goes into high gear and when it goes
down to low gear. Bigger than this value = Low Gear, smaller than this value = High
Gear. Recommend a value of 45A. In Amps unit.
Configuration options: [Auto] [0] - [255]
Threads to Sleep for High Cache Gear
Threads to request to sleep in High Cache Gear. A good value would be total threads
minus number of physical PCores, this ensures only P-Cores are awake in High Gear
Mode.
Configuration options: [Auto] [0] - [255]
High Cache Ratio
The ratio for cache during High Cache Gear.
Configuration options: [Auto] [8] - [200]
High Cache Voltage
The voltage for cache during High Cache Gear. Key 0 for default VID.
Configuration options: [Auto] [0.000] - [1.800]
Low Cache Ratio
The ratio for cache during Low Cache Gear.
Configuration options: [Auto] [8] - [200]
Low Cache Voltage
The voltage for cache during Low Cache Gear. Key 0 for default ViD.
Configuration options: [Auto] [0.000] - [1.800]
