CPU Power Phase Control [Standard]
Phase number is the number of working VRM phase. Increasing phase number under heavy
system loading to get more transient and better thermal performance. Reducing phase
[Standard] Proceeds phase control depending on the CPU loading.
[Extreme] Proceeds the full phase mode.
[Manual Adjustment] Allows manual adjustment.
CPU Voltage Frequency [Auto]
Switching frequency will affect the VRM transient response and component thermal. Setting a
higher frequency gets faster transient response.
[Auto] Allows you to enable or disable the Spread Spectrum item.
VRM Fixed Frequency Mode [xxx]
This item appears only when you set the CPU Voltage Frequency item to [Manual] and allows
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.
CPU Power Duty Control [T.Probe]
[T.Probe] Maintains the VRM thermal balance.
[Extreme] Maintains the VRM current balance.
Do not remove the thermal module while changing the DIGI+VRM related parameters. The
thermal conditions should be monitored.
3.4.10 CPU Voltage [Offset Mode]
[Offset Mode] To offset the voltage by a positive or negative value.
[Manual Mode] To set the voltage manually.
CPU Offset Mode Sign [+]
This item appears only when you set the CPU Voltage item to [Offset Mode].
[+] To offset the voltage by a positive value.
[–] To offset the voltage by a negative value.
CPU Offset Voltage [Auto]
Allows you to set the CPU Offset voltage. The values range from 0.00625V to 0.500V
with a 0.00625V interval.
Refer to the CPU documentation before setting the CPU voltage. Setting a high voltage
may damage the CPU permanently, and setting a low voltage may make the system
unstable.
