DIGI+ VRM
CPU Load-Line Calibration [Auto]
Load-line is defined by Intel VRM specification and affects CPU voltage. The CPU
working voltage will decrease proportionally to CPU loading. Higher load-line
calibration could get higher voltage and good overclocking performance, but increases
the CPU and VRM thermal conditions. This item allows you to adjust the voltage range
from the following percentages to boost the system performance: 0% (Regular), 25%
(Medium), 50% (High), 75% (Ultra High), and 100% (Extreme). Configuration options:
[Auto] [Regular] [Medium] [High] [Ultra High] [Extreme]
The actual performance boost may vary depending on your CPU specification.
CPU Fixed Frequency [XXX]
This item allows you to set a fixed CPU voltage frequency. Use the <+> or <-> keys to
adjust the value. The values range from 300kHz to 500kHz with a 50kHz interval.
CPU Power Phase Control [Standard]
Allows you to set the power phase based on the CPU. Configuration options:
[Standard] [Optimized] [Extreme] [Manual Adjustment]
DO NOT remove the thermal module when setting this item to [Extreme] and [Manual
Adjustment]. The thermal conditions should be monitored.
This following item appears only when you set the CPU Power Phase Control item to
[Manual Adjustment].
Manual Adjustment [Fast]
Allows you to set a faster phase response for the CPU to increase system
performance or to slower phase response to decrease DRAM power
efficiency. Configuration options: [Ultra Fast] [Fast] [Medium] [Regular]
CPU Power Duty Control [T.Probe]
DIGI + VRM Duty Control adjusts the current of every VRM phase and the thermal
conditions of every phase component.
[T. Probe] Select to maintain the VRM thermal balance.
[Extreme] Select to maintain the current VRM balance.
CPU Current Capability [Auto]
DIGI+ VRM CPU Current Capability provides wider total power range for overclocking.
A higher value setting gets higher VRM power consumption deliveryand extends the
overclocking frequency range simultaneously. Configuration options: [Auto] [100%]
[110%] [120%] [130%] [140%]
Choose a higher value when overclocking, or under a high CPU loading for extra power
support.
