Chapter 3
CPU Power Thermal Control [130]
A higher temperature brings a wider CPU power thermal range and extends the
overclocking tolerance to enlarge the O.C. potential. Use the <+> or <-> keys to adjust
the value. The values depend on the CPU installed.
DO NOT remove the thermal module. The thermal conditions should be monitored.
DRAM Current Capability [100%]
A higher value brings a wider total power range, and extends the overclocking range
simultaneously.
Configuration options: [100%] [110%] [120%] [130%]
DRAM Voltage Frequency [Auto]
Allows you to adjust the DRAM switching frequency. Assign a fixed high DRAM
frequency to increase the O.C. range, or a low DRAM frequency for a better system
stability.
Configuration options: [Auto] [Manual]
The following item appears only when you set set the DRAM Frequency Mode item to
[Manual].
DRAM Fixed Frequency Mode [300]
Allows you to set a fixed DRAM frequency to increase the overclocking
range or a low DRAM frequency for better system stability. Use the <+> or
<-> keys to adjust the value. The values range from 300kHz to 500kHz with
a 50kHz interval.
DRAM Power Phase Control [Auto]
[Auto] Allows you to set the Auto mode.
[Optimized] Allows you to set the ASUS optimized phase tuning profile.
[Extreme] Allows you to set the full phase mode.
CPU Power Management
The subitems in this menu allow you to set the CPU ratio and their features.
Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology [Enabled]
Allows the operating system to dynamically adjust the processor voltage and cores
frequency, resulting to a decreased average power consumption and decreased
average heat production.
Configuration options: [Disabled] [Enabled]
Turbo Mode [Enabled]
Allows you to enable your core processor’s speed to run faster than the base operating
frequency when it is below operating power, current and temperature specification limit.
Configuration options: [Disabled] [Enabled]
The following items appear only when you set the Turbo Mode to [Enabled].
