Chapter 3
ThefollowingitemappearsonlywhenyousettheAiOverclockingTunerto[Manual].
BCLK Frequency
ThisitemallowsyoutosettheBCLK(baseclock)frequencytoenhancethesystem
performance.Usethe<+>or<->toadjustthevalue.Thevaluesrangefrom40.0MHz
to1000.0MHz.
WerecommendyoutosetthevaluebasedontheCPUspecication,ashighBCLK
frequenciesmaydamagetheCPUpermanently.
ASUS MultiCore Enhancement
[Auto] Thisitemallowsyoutomaximizetheoveclockingperformanceoptimized
byASUScoreratiosettings.
[Disabled] Thisitemallowsyoutosettodefaultcoreratiosettings.
CPU Core Ratio
ThisitemallowsyoutosettheCPUcoreratios.
Congurationoptions:[Auto][SyncAllCores][PerCore]
DRAM Frequency
Thisitemallowsyoutosetthememoryoperatingfrequency.Thecongurableoptionsvary
withtheBCLK(baseclock)frequencysetting.Selecttheautomodetoapplytheoptimized
setting.
Congurationoptions:[Auto][DDR4-800MHz]-[DDR4-1900MHz]
TPU
ThisitemallowsyoutoautomaticallyoverclocktheCPUandDRAMfrequenciesandvoltage
foranenhancedsystemperformance.
[KeepCurrentSettings] Keepthecurrentsettingswithoutchanginganything.
[TPUI]  Appliesaircoolingoverclockingconditions.
[TPUII]  Applieswatercoolingoverclockingconditions.
Ensuretousewatercoolingdevicebeforeselecting[TPU II].
