3.5.1.1 CPU Voltage Override Type
For CPU Override Type, select Static. This setting prevents dynamic adjustments that
could confuse tuning efforts. Later in the tuning procedure, the dynamic setting can
be restored if it does not result in thermal throttling of the processor.
3.5.1.2 CPU Voltage Override
On the CPU Voltage Override, increase the voltage setting. This needs to be done to
provide the extra voltage to support performance tuning. The amount of voltage
increase needed depends on the amount of performance increase that is desired. This
is something of a trial and error process and the objective is to provide just enough
voltage so the processor can sustain the desired level of performance. Note that high
voltage settings may potentially cause processor damage. Later in the tuning process,
this voltage will be reduced to the lowest level that provides stability.
3.5.1.3 CPU VReg Droop Control
Set CPU VReg Droop Control to Low V-droop (Performance) if you are attempting to
maximize processor performance. If you are attempting moderate performance
increases, then the Mid or the High V-droop (Power Saving) selection is acceptable.
3.5.1.4 TDC Current Limit Override
Set the TDC Current Limit Override (Amps). The amount of additional processor
current needed depends on the amount of frequency increase being attempted and the
processor workload. The purpose of the TDC current limit is to thermally protect the
