4.3.2 DIGI+ VRM
ASUS DIGI+ VRM allows you to adjust VRM voltage and frequency modulation to enhance
reliability and stability. It also provides the highest power efficiency, generating less heat to
longer component lifespan and minimize power loss.
After installing AI Suite II from the motherboard support DVD, launch DIGI+ VRM by clicking
Tool > DIGI+ VRM on the AI Suite II main menu bar.
Function description
1. CPU Load-line Calibration
Higher load-line calibration could get higher voltage and good overclocking performance but increase
the CPU and VRM thermal.
2. CPU Current Capability
CPU Current Capability provides wider total power range for overclocking. A higher value setting gets
higher VRM power consumption delivery.
3. CPU Voltage Frequency
Switching frequency will affect the VRM transient response and component thermal.
4. CPU/NB Load Line Calibration
Set to a higher value for system performance, or to a lower value for better thermal solution.
5. CPU/NB Current Capability
Setting CPU/NB Current Capability to a higher value increases the overclocking frequency range of the
DRAM Controller.
6. CPU Power Phase Control
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.
7. CPU Power Duty Control
CPU Power Duty Control adjusts the current of every VRM phase and the thermal of every phase
component.
• The actual performance boost may vary depending on your CPU and DRAM
specification.
• Do not remove the thermal module. The thermal conditions should be monitored.
