Digi+ VRM/POWER Control

The sub-items in this menu allow you to set the Digi+ VRM settings and Power

control.

VCore PWM mode [T.Probe]

[T.Probe] Maintains the VRM thermal balance.
[Extreme] Maintains the VRM current balance.

VCore MOS volt. Control [Auto]

Use the <+> and <-> keys to adjust the value.

Configuration options: [Auto] [6V] [6.5V] [7V] [7.5V] [8V] [8.5V] [9V] [9.5V]

[10V] [10.5V]
VCore Load-Line Calibration [Auto]

Load-line is defined by Intel VRM spec and affects CPU voltage. The CPU

working voltage will decrease proportionally to CPU loading. Higher load-line

calibration would get higher voltage and better overclocking performance,

but increase the CPU and VRM thermal. From the Regular to Extreme mode

allows you to adjust the voltage range from 0% to 100% to boost the system

performance.

Configuration options: [Auto] [0%] [25% (Suitable for 3.6G-4.2G)] [High]

[50% (Suitable for 4.2G-4.8G)] [75% (Suitable for 4.8G-5.2G)]

[100% (Suitable for 5.2G-6.0G)]

The actual performance boost may vary depending on your CPU specification.

VCore Switching Freq [Auto]

Switching frequency will affect the VRM transient response and component

thermal. Setting a higher frequency gets faster transient response.
[Auto]

Allows you to enable or disable the Spread Spectrum item.

[Manual] Allows you to manually set the frequency with a 10KHz interval.

VRM Fixed Frequency Mode [xxx]

This item appears only when you set the VCore Switching Freq item to

[Manual] and allows you to set a fixed VRM frequency. Use the <+> and <->

keys to adjust the value. The values range from 250KHz to 1100KHz with a

50KHz interval.
