Chapter 3
CPU/NB Load-Line Calibration [Auto]
Allows you to select the CPU/NB Load-Line mode.
Configuration options: [Auto] [Regular] [High] [Extreme]
CPU Currrent 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.
Configuration options: [Auto] [100%] [110%] [120%] [130%]
DO NOT remove the thermal module while changing the DIGI+ Power Control related
parrameters . The thermal conditions should be monitored.
Some of the following items are adjusted by typing the desired values using the numeric
keypad and press the key. You can also use the <+> and <-> keys to adjust the

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 Fixed Frequency Mode
This item appears only when you set the CPU Voltage Frequency to [Manual]. It allows
you to set a fixed frequency range for the VRM. The values range from 300KHz to
550KHz with a 10KHz interval.
VRM Spread Spectrum [Disabled]
This item appears only when you set the CPU Voltage Frequency to [Auto]. It allows
you to enable the spread spectrum to enhance system stability.
Configuration options: [Disabled] [Enabled]
