PRIME / ProArt / TUF GAMING Intel 700 Series BIOS Manual

CPU Current Capability

Allows you to set the shut-off current limit for external voltage regulator. A higher

setting will allow the voltage regulator to supply more current while a lower setting will

cause the voltage regulator to shut off the system when the supplied current is higher

than the set value.

Configuration options: [Auto] [100%] - [140%]

Configure higher values when overclocking or under a high loading for extra power

support.

CPU VRM Switching Frequency

This item affects the VRM transient response speed and the component thermal

production. Select [

Manual

] to configure a higher frequency for a quicker transient

response speed. Setting a higher switching frequency will result in better transient

response at the expense of higher VRM temperatures. Active cooling of the VRM

heatsink is recommended when running high CPU voltage and high load-line

calibration values.

Configuration options: [Auto] [Manual]

DO NOT remove the thermal module. The thermal conditions should be monitored.

The following item appears only when

CPU VRM Switching Frequency

is set to

[Manual]

Fixed CPU VRM Switching Frequency(KHz)

Allows you to set a higher frequency for a quicker transient response speed. The

values range from 250 KHz to 500 KHz with an interval of 50 KHz.

CPU Power Duty Control

CPU power duty control adjusts the duty cycle of each VRM phase based upon

current and/or temperature.
[T. Probe]

Sets the buck controller to balance VRM FET temperatures

[Extreme]

Select to set the VRM current balance mode.

DO NOT remove the thermal module when setting this item to

[Extreme]

. The thermal

conditions should be monitored.

CPU Power Phase Control

Allows you to set the power phase control of the CPU.
[Auto]

Automatically selects the power phase control.

[Standard]

The number of active phases is controlled by the CPU.
