CPU Power Thermal Control [115]
Higher temperature provides a wider CPU power thermal range and extends the
overclocking tolerance to enlarge the overclocking potential.
Conguration options: [115] - [136]
DO NOT remove the thermal module. The thermal conditions should be monitored
DRAM Current Capability [100%]
This item provides a total power range for DRAM overclocking. A higher value setting
provides higher power consumption delivery and extends the overclocking frequency
range simultaneously.
Conguration options: [100%] [110%] [120%] [130%]
Congure higher values when overclocking or under a high CPU loading for extra power
support.
DRAM Power Phase Control [Extreme]
This item allows you to set the power phase control of the DRAM.
Conguration options: [Optimized] [Extreme]
DRAM Switching Frequency [Auto]
This item affects the VRM transient response speed and the component thermal
production. Select [Manual] to congure a higher frequency for a quicker transient
response speed.
Conguration options: [Auto] [Manual]
DO NOT remove the thermal module. The thermal conditions should be monitored.
The following item appears only when you set the DRAM Switching Frequency to
[Manual].
Fixed DRAM Switching Frequency (KHz) [300]
This item allows you to set a higher frequency for a quicker transient
response speed. Use the <+> or <-> to adjust the value. The values range
from 300 KHz to 500 KHz with an interval of 50 KHz.
DO NOT remove the thermal module when the manual mode is selected. The thermal
conditions should be monitored.
Boot Voltages
CPU Core/Cache Boot Voltage [Auto]
The voltage for CPU at initial boot.
Conguration options: [Auto] [0.600] - [1.700]
DMI Boot Voltage [Auto]
The voltage for DMI at initial boot.
Conguration options: [Auto] [0.300] - [1.900]
