3-20 BIOS Setup 3-21 BIOS Setup
▶CPU Over Current Protection [Auto]
Sets the current limit for CPU over-current protection. If set to "Auto", BIOS will
configure this setting automatically. Higher voltage provides less protection and may
damage the system.
▶Phase Over Current Protection [Enabled]
Enables or disables the phase over-current protection.
[Enabled] Sets the current limit on the phase for over-current protection.
[Disabled] Disables this function.
▶CPU Switching Frequency [Auto]
Sets the PWM working speed to stabilize CPU Core voltage and minimize ripple
range. Increasing the PWM working speed will cause higher temperature of
MOSFET. So please make sure a cooling solution is well-prepared for MOSFET
before you increase the value. If set to "Auto", BIOS will configure this setting
automatically.
▶CPU VRM Over Temperature Protection [Enabled]
Enables or disables the CPU VRM over-temperature protection.
[Enabled] Sets the temperature limit on CPU VRM for over-temperature protec-
tion. The CPU frequency may be throttled when CPU VRM over the
specified temperature.
[Disabled] Disables this function.
▶CPU VRM Over Temperature Shutdown [Enabled]
Sets the system whether be powered off or not when the CPU VRM temperature
over the limitation temperature of CPU VRM protection.
[Enabled] The system will be off when over the specified temperature.
[Disabled] Disables this function.
▶Digital Compensation Level [Auto]
Sets the current compensation level for CPU PWM when the MOS phases are
changed. If set to "Auto", BIOS will configure this setting automatically. Higher
compensation level provides more overclocking ability.
▶Imon Overwrite [Auto]
Sets the Imon current for CPU.
[Auto] This setting will be configured automatically by BIOS.
[Quarter] Sets the Imon current into quarter.
[Half] Sets the Imon current into half.
[Disabled] Sets the default values for Imon current.
▶Transient Boost [Disabled]
Enables or disables the transient boost.
[Enabled] Enables this function may lead into a stable system under heavy load-
ing.
[Disabled] Disables this function.
