IA VR Voltage Limit
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]
Thermal Velocity Boost
TVB Voltage Optimizations
This service controls thermal based voltage optimizations for processors that
implement the Intel Thermal Velocity Boost (TVB) feature. This item is set to
[Enabled] by default. Uses Overclocking Mailbox command 0x18/0x19.
Configuration options: [Auto] [Disabled] [Enabled]
V-Max Stress
If set to [Enabled], Frequency may be clipped if the max voltage on the silicon is too
high. Frequency will not be clipped if disabled.
Configuration options: [Auto] [Disabled] [Enabled]
Overclocking TVB
Enable this to be able to draw temperature/frequency dependencies.
Configuration options: [Auto] [Disabled] [Enabled] [+1Boost Profile] [+2Boost Profile]
• +1Boost Profile(K CPU):
This setting will enable additional boost of one bin with the help of Auto Optimized
Temperature Control.
+2Boost Profile(K CPU):
This setting will enable additional boost of two bins with the help of Auto Optimized
Temperature Control.
• The following items appear only when Overclocking TVB is set to [Enabled].
1-Core Active / 2-Core Active / 3-Core Active / 4-Core Active / 5-Core Active /
6-Core Active / 7-Core Active / 8-Core Active
Configuration options: [Auto] [Enabled]
The following items appear only when 1-Core Active, 2-Core Active, 3-Core Active,
4-Core Active, 5-Core Active, 6-Core Active, 7-Core Active, or 8-Core Active is set to
[Enabled].
Temperature A
Package passing this temperature threshold will engage the negative ratio offset
specified in Negative Ratio Offset A. Unit in Degree Celsius.
Configuration options: [Auto] [1] - [115]
Negative Ratio Offset A
This will be the potential negative offset to respective ratio when package temperature
rises above threshold specified in Temperature A.
Configuration options: [Auto] [User Specify]
