CPU Voltage
Override Type
Performance > Processor
Overrides
• None
• Static
• Dynamic
None: Allows the processor to manage its own power
usage with default upper limits.
Static: Keeps the processor at a specific user specified
voltage at all times.
Dynamic: Allows the processor to manage its own
voltage level, but with user-specified upper limits.
CPU VREG Droop
Control
Performance > Processor
Overrides
• Low V-droop
(Performance)
• Mid v-droop
• High V-Droop
(Power Saving)
Selecting a lower V-droop supplies more overall power to
the CPU. This will increase heat, but may provide more
CPU stability.
Current Duty Cycle
Configuration > Fan Control &
Real-Time Monitoring
Information

Displays the current fan duty cycle.
Current Fan Speed
Configuration > Fan Control &
Real-Time Monitoring
Information

Damping
Configuration > Fan Control
& Real-Time Monitoring
• Low
• Normal
• High
Helps to reduce oscillation in fan speed response. Higher
settings will produce fewer changes, but could slow
temperature response.

Configuration
or
Power
• Enable
• Disable
Enable or disable deep S4/S5.
Enabling this setting will use less power in S4/S5 sleep
states, but will only wake from S4/S5 via the power button or
RTC alarm.

(Y/N)
Deletes TLS Pre-Shared Key (PSK) PID/PPS so they can be
reprogrammed.
Detected Discrete-
SATA Device
Configuration > SATA
Drives
Information
only
Displays the device identification string, capacity in gigabytes,
and negotiated speed (1.5 Gb/s, 3.0 Gb/s, or 6.0 Gb/s) for a
device attached to a discrete SATA port.
Detected RAID
Volume
Configuration > SATA
Drives
Information
