CPU/NB Load-Line Calibration [Auto]
This item allows you to enable or disable the CPU/NB Load-Line Calibration function.
Conguration options: [Auto] [Regular] [High] [Extreme]
CPU Current Capability [Auto]
This item provides a total power range for CPU overclocking. A higher value setting
provides higher power consumption delivery and extends the overclocking frequency
range simultaneously.
Conguration options: [Auto] [100%] [110%] [120%] [130%] [140%]
Congure higher values when overclocking or under a high CPU loading for extra power
support.
CPU/NB Current Capability [Auto]
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: [Auto] [100%] [110%] [120%] [130%]
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 number under light system loading to increase VRM efciency.
[Standard] Proceeds phase control depending on the CPU loading.
[Optimized] Loads the ASUS optimized phase tuning prole.
[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.
[Manual] Allows you to manually set the frequency with a 10k Hz interval.
The following item appears only when you set CPU Voltage Frequency to [Auto].
VRM Spread Spectrum [Disabled]
This item allows you to enable the spread spectrum to enhance system
stability.
Conguration options: [Disabled] [Enabled]
