CPU Power Duty Control
DIGI+ VRM Duty Control adjusts the current
of every VRM phase and the thermal of
every phase component. Select the [T.Probe]
option to maintain VRM thermal balance or
the [Extreme] option to maintain VRM current
balance.
• T.Probe Thermal: Thermal balance
• C.Probe Current: Current balance
CPU/NB Current Capability
CPU/NB Current Capability provides wider total
power range for overclocking. A higher value
setting gets higher VRM power consumption
delivery.
A higher value brings a wider total power range
and extends the overclocking frequency range
simultaneously.
Suggestion: choose higher value when overclocking or under high CPU loading for extra
power support.
CPU Power Phase Control
Phase number is the number of working VRM
phase. Increase phase number under heavy
system loading to get more transient and better
thermal performance. Reduce phase number
under light system loading to increase VRM
efficiency.
• Standard: Phase control based on CPU
command.
• Optimized: ASUS optimized phase tuning
profile
• Extreme: Full phase mode
• Manual Adjustment: Phase number adjusted by current (A) step
• Select Ultra Fast for a faster response. The reaction time will be longer when Regular
is selected.
• Do not remove the thermal module when switching to Extreme and Manual mode. The
thermal conditions should be monitored.
Do not remove the thermal module. The thermal conditions should be monitored.
