The following item appears only when Ai Overclock Tuner is set to [Manual], [AEMP II],
[XMP I], [XMP II], [DOCP I], or [DOCP II].
BCLK Frequency
Using a higher BCLK frequency will alter the operating frequency of all associated clock
domains (CPU, DRAM, and Cache). Use the <+> or <-> to adjust the value.
We recommend you to set the value based on the CPU specification, as high BCLK
frequencies may damage the CPU permanently.
The following item appears only when Ai Overclock Tuner is set to [AEMP II].
AEMP
Allows you to select your ASUS Enhanced Memory Profile (AEMP). Each profile has its own
DRAM frequency, timing and voltage.
The following item appears only when Ai Overclock Tuner is set to [XMP I] or [XMP II].
XMP
Allows you to select your Extreme Memory Profile. Each profile has its own DRAM
frequency, timing and voltage.
The following item appears only when Ai Overclock Tuner is set to [DOCP I] or [DOCP

DOCP
Allows you to select your D.O.C.P Profile. Each profile has its own DRAM frequency, timing
and voltage.
Intel(R) Adaptive Boost Technology
Allows you to enable or disable IABT to improve performance by allowing higher multi-core
turbo frequencies. Operating within system power and temperature specifications when
current, power and thermal headroom exists, please ensure quality cooling for the CPU
before enabling the ABT function.
