CPU/NB Currrent Capability [Auto]
This item provides wider total DRAM controller power range for overclocking. A higher
value brings a wider total power range and extends the overclocking frequency range
simultaneously.
Configuration options: [Auto] [100%] [110%] [120%] [130%]
CPU Power Phase Control [Standard]
Phase number is the number of woorking 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 efficiency
[Standard]
Proceeds phase control depending on the CPU loading.
[Optimized]
Loads the ASUS optimized phase tuning profile.
[Extreme]
Proceeds the full phase mode.
[Manual Adjustment] Allows manual adjustment.
CPU Voltage Frequency [Auto]
Switching frequency will affects the VRM transient response and component thermal. Higher
frequency gets quicker transient response. Configuration options: [Auto] [Manual]
VRM Spread Spectrum [Disabled]
This item allows you to enable the spread spectrum to enhance system stability.
Configuration options: [Disabled] [Enabled]
CPU Power Duty Control [T.Probe]
[T.Probe]
Maintains the VRM thermal balance.
[Extreme]
Maintains the VRM current balance.
