CPU Load Line Calibration [Auto]
CPU Load Line Calibration is based on AMD VRM specications and affects CPU voltage.
The CPU working voltage will decrease proportionally to CPU loading. Higher load line
calibration would get higher voltage and better overclocking performance but will increase the
CPU and VRM thermal conditions.
This item allows you to adjust the voltage range from the following percentages to boost the
system performance: 0% (Regular), 25% (Medium), 50% (High), 75% (Ultra High), and 100%
(Extreme). Conguration options: [Auto] [Regular] [Medium] [High] [Ultra High] [Extreme]
The actual performance boost may vary depending on your CPU specication.
CPU/NB Load Line Calibration [Auto]
Allows you to select the CPU/NB Load Line Calibration mode. Conguration options: [Auto]
[Regular] [High] [Extreme]
CPU Current Capability [100%]
This item provides wider total power range for overclocking. A higher value brings a
wider total power range and extends the overclocking frequency range simultaneously.
Conguration options: [100%] [110%] [120%] [130%] [140%]
CPU/NB Current Capability [100%]
This item provides wider total power range for overclocking. A higher value brings a
wider total power range and extends the overclocking frequency range simultaneously.
Conguration options: [100%] [110%] [120%] [130%]
CPU Power Phase Control [Standard]
Phase number is the number of working VRM phase. Increase the phase number under
heavy system loading to get more transient and better thermal performance. Reduce the
phase number under light system loading to increase VRM efciency.
[Standard] Proceeds to phase control depending on the CPU loading.
[Optimized] Loads the ASUS optimized phase tuning prole.
[Extreme] Proceeds to the full phase mode.
[Manual Adjustment] Allows manual adjustment.
CPU Voltage Frequency [Auto]
Switching frequency will affect the VRM transient response and thermal condition. Setting a
higher frequency gets a faster transient response.
[Auto] Allows you to enable or disable the Spread Spectrum item.
[Manual] Allows you to manually set the frequency with a 10k Hz interval.
VRM Spread Spectrum [Disabled]
This item appears only when you set the CPU Voltage Frequency item to [Auto] and
allows you to enable the spread spectrum to enhance system stability.
