BIOS Setup

▶DRAM Switching Frequency [Auto]

Sets the PWM working speed to stabilize DRAM voltage and minimize ripple range.

If set to "Auto", BIOS will configure this setting automatically.

▶DRAM VRM Over Temperature Protection [Auto]

Sets the temperature limit on DRAM VRM for over-temperature protection. The

DRAM frequency may be throttled when DRAM VRM over the specified temperature.

If set to "Auto", BIOS will configure this settings.

▶DRAM Power Duty Control [Thermal Balance]

Selects the method of VRM control for DRAM phase.

[Thermal Balance] Control the VRM with thermal balance mode.

[Current Balance] Control the VRM with current balance mode.

▶PCH Vdroop Offset Control [Auto]

Sets a percentage of offset voltage for PCH vdroop. If set to "Auto", BIOS will

configure this setting automatically.

▶PCH Over Voltage Protection [Auto]

Sets the voltage limit for PCH over-voltage protection. If set to "Auto", BIOS will

configure this setting automatically. Higher voltage provides less protection and

may damage the system.

▶PCH Under Voltage Protection [Auto]

Sets the voltage limit for PCH under-voltage protection. If set to "Auto", BIOS will

configure this setting automatically. Higher voltage provides less protection and may

damage the system.

▶PCH Over Current Protection [Auto]

Sets the current limit for PCH over-current protection.

[Auto]

This setting will be configured automatically by BIOS.

[Enhanced]

Extends the limitation of PCH over-current protection.

▶PCH Switching Frequency [Auto]

Sets the PWM working speed to stabilize PCH voltage and minimize ripple range. If

set to "Auto", BIOS will configure this setting automatically.

▶PCH VRM Over Temperature Protection [Auto]

Sets the temperature limit on PCH VRM for over-temperature protection. The PCH

frequency may be throttled when PCH VRM over the specified temperature.If set to

"Auto", BIOS will configure this settings.

▶SVID Communication [Auto]*

Enables or disables SVID (Serial Voltage Identification) support.

[Auto]

This setting will be configured automatically by BIOS.

[Enabled]

PWM phase will be changed dynamically according to the CPU SVID

(Serial Voltage Identification).

[Disabled]

Disables SVID (Serial Voltage Identification) support.

▶VCCIN Voltage [Auto]

Sets the CPU input voltage. The CPU input voltage is the CPU power source that is

shared with components of the CPU.
