The following items appear only when SA GV is set to [Enabled], [Fixed to 1st Point],
[Fixed to 2nd Point], [Fixed to 3rd Point], or [Fixed to 4th Point].
First Point Frequency
Allows you to specify the frequency for the given point. 0-MRC auto, else a specific
frequency as an integer: 2000Mhz.
Configuration options: [0] - [65535]
First Point Gear
Allows you to set the gear ratio for this SAGV point. 0-Auto, 1-G1, 2-G2, 4-G4.
Configuration options: [0] - [4]
Second Point Frequency
Allows you to specify the frequency for the given point. 0-MRC auto, else a specific
frequency as an integer: 2000Mhz.
Configuration options: [0] - [65535]
Second Point Gear
Allows you to set the gear ratio for this SAGV point. 0-Auto, 1-G1, 2-G2, 4-G4.
Configuration options: [0] - [4]
Third Point Frequency
Allows you to specify the frequency for the given point. 0-MRC auto, else a specific
frequency as an integer: 2000Mhz.
Configuration options: [0] - [65535]
Third Point Gear
Allows you to set the gear ratio for this SAGV point. 0-Auto, 1-G1, 2-G2, 4-G4.
Configuration options: [0] - [4]
The Fourth Point Gear will always be the settings you set in the main menu, so configure
the Fourth Point Gear there.
Digi+ VRM
VRM Intialization Check
When any error occurs during VRM initialization, the system will hang at POST code
76/77 if this function is enabled.
Configuration options: [Disabled] [Enabled]
CPU Input Voltage Load-line Calibration
Configuration options [Auto] [Level 1] [Level 2] [Level 3]
CPU Load-line Calibration
The load-line is defined by the Intel VRM specification and affects the level of voltage
supplied to the processor. Higher load-line calibration settings result in reduced
VDroop at the expense of voltage overshoot and will increase CPU temperatures due
to higher voltage under load. Select from level 1 to 7 to adjust the load-line slope.
Level 1 = greater VDroop, Level 7 = minimum VDroop.
Configuration options [Auto] [Level 1] [Level 2] [Level 3] [Level 4:Recommended for
OC] [Level 5] [Level 6] [Level 7] [Level 8]
The actual performance boost may vary depending on your CPU specification.
DO NOT remove the thermal module. The thermal conditions should be monitored.
