Voltage Setting
In overvoltage operations, the OC Genie II provides comprehensive items
as in the previous generation for users to adjust. These items include: CPU
Voltage, CPU IO Voltage (VTT), DRAM Voltage and System Agent Voltage.
The CPU Voltage and IO Voltage are the two items related to CPU OC, and
the DRAM Voltage and IO Voltage are the two associated with memory OC.
When increasing voltage to enhance OC capability, it means the system will
produce more heat and consume more energy. Therefore, users should pay
attention to the thermal condition of various devices, and even replace the
heat-sinks on the mainboard. When the CPU consumes more power, this
will activate the protective mechanism built in the CPU to reduce CPU Ratio
when system loading.
The VDroop Control option helps to correct the voltage drop while the CPU
is under high-load operation. The VDroop setting does not affect the over-
clocking capability of the CPU but indeed interferes with other overclocking
settings. As a solution, users may need to adjust the voltage settings after
tuning the VDroop. Given the high cooling efficiency of the cooler/heat sink,
users are suggested to set the VDroop to“Low VDroop”to enhance system
stability during heavy loading.
advanced Memory timing Setting
After selecting DRAM Timing Mode, the Advanced DRAM Configuration
menu can be used to adjust memory settings. The left side shows the memo-
ry’s default settings while the right side can be used to change the memory’s
timing.
CPU feature
The CPU Feature menu can be used to adjust settings such as Execute Disable
Bit, Virtualization Technology, Power Technology, C-State, etc. The Long/
Short Duration Power Limit setting in particular can be used to adjust CPU
TDP wattage limit. These two settings will affect the processor when it is
under heavy load but will not affect CPU ratio.
