BIOS Setup

CPU Phase Control [Auto]

Controls PWM phase proportionally to the CPU loading. If set to "Auto", BIOS will

optimize the CPU PWM phase automatically.

[Auto]

This setting will be configured automatically by BIOS.

[Normal]

Sets the normal power phase profile for CPU, it could provide a

stable system proformance and effective power-saving capability.

[Optimized] Sets the optimum power phase profile for CPU, it could provide the

system with an optimum power-saving capability.

[Disabled]

Disables the PWM power phase switching feature.

CPU Vdroop Offset Control [Auto]

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

configure this setting automatically.

CPU Over Voltage Protection [Auto]

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

configure this setting automatically. Higher voltage provides less protection and

may damage the system.

CPU Under Voltage Protection [Auto]

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

configure this setting automatically. Higher voltage provides less protection and

may damage the system.

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

protection. The CPU frequency may be throttled when CPU VRM

over the specified temperature.

[Disabled]

Disables this function.
