CPU Performance Settings
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].
Turbo Mode Parameters
Long Duration Power Limit [Auto]
Allows you to limit the Turbo Ratio’s time duration that exceeds the TDP
(Thermal Design Power) for maximum performance. Use the <+> or <->
keys to adjust the value. The values range from 1W to 32767W.
Long Duration Maintained [Auto]
This item indicates the time window for Turbo Ratio over TDP must be
maintained. Use the <+> or <-> keys to adjust the value. The values range
from 1W to 32W.
Short Duration Power Limit [Auto]
Also known as Power Limit 2, and allows you to provide rapid protection
when the package power exceeds the Power Limit 1. Use the <+> or <->
keys to adjust the value. The values range from 1W to 32767W.
Additional Turbo Voltage [Auto]
The maximum voltage applied to the CPU when you engaged the Turbo
Boost. Use the <+> or <-> keys to adjust the value. The values range from
0.004W to 1.0000W with a .0004W interval.
CPU Current Limit [Auto]
Allows you to set a higher current limit to prevent frequency and power
throttling when overclocking. Use the <+> or <-> keys to adjust the value.
The values range from 0.125 to 1023.875 with a 0.125 interval.
Extreme Over-voltage [Disabled]
Set this item to [Enabled] to allow a high-level voltage for the CPU to overclock. Set this item
to [Disabled] to help protect the CPU from being burned due to over-voltage.
Configuration options: [Disabled] [Enabled]
CPU VCore Voltage [Offset Mode]
Allows you to configure the voltage amount for the processor’s cores. Increase the voltage
when setting a high Core Frequency value.
Configuration options: [Manual Mode] [Offset Mode]
