ROG Z790 Series BIOS Manual
Max. CPU Graphics Ratio
Allows you to configure the CPU graphics ratio. The ratio may vary depending on the system
loading. Use the <+> and <-> keys to adjust the value.
Configuration options: [Auto] [1] - [42]
Extreme Over-voltage
This item can only be enabled when the onboard CPU_OV jumper is switched on. Setting
this item to [Enabled] allows you to configure higher voltages for overclocking, but the CPU
lifetime will not be guaranteed.
Configuration options: [Disabled] [Enabled]
BCLK Aware Adaptive Voltage
Allows you to enable or disable BCLK Aware Adaptive Voltage. When enabled, pcode will be
aware of the BCLK frequency when calculating the CPU V/F curves. This is ideal for BCLK
OC to avoid high voltage overrides.
Configuration options: [Disabled] [Enabled]
Actual VRM Core Voltage
Allows you to configure the VRM output rail for Core Voltage. Manual mode allows users-
defined values. Offset mode modifies the values by SVID.
Configuration options: [Auto] [Manual Mode] [Offset Mode]
The following item appears only when Actual VRM Core Voltage is set to [Manual
Mode].
CPU Core Voltage Override
Allows you to configure the input voltage for the CPU by the external voltage regulator. Use
the <+> and <-> keys to adjust the value. The values range from 0.600V to 1.700V with an
interval of 0.005V.
Configuration options: [Auto] [0.60000] - [1.70000]
The following items appear only when Actual VRM Core Voltage is set to [Offset Mode].
Offset Mode Sign
[+] To offset the CPU core voltage by a positive value.
[–] To offset the CPU core voltage by a negative value.
CPU Core Voltage Offset
Allows you to configure the input voltage for the CPU by the external voltage regulator. Use
the <+> or <-> to adjust the value. The values range from 0.005V to 0.635V with an interval
of 0.005V.
Configuration options: [Auto] [0.00500] - [0.63500]
Global Core SVID Voltage
Allows you to configure the global Core Voltage requested by the cores. Result may be
influenced by Actual VRM Core Voltage.
Configuration options: [Auto] [Manual Mode] [Adaptive Mode]
