2.5.10 DIGI+ VRM
CPU Load-Line Calibration [Auto]
Load-line is defined by Intel VRM specification and affects CPU voltage. The CPU working
voltage will decrease proportionally to CPU loading. Higher value gets a higher voltagve
and better overclocking performance, but increases the CPU and VRM thermal conditions.
This item allows you to adjust the voltage range from the following percentages to boost the
system performance. Configuration options: [Auto] [Level 1] ~ [Level 9]
The actual performance boost may vary depending on your CPU specification.
CPU VRM Switching Frequency [Auto]
Frequency switching affects the VRM transient response, and the thermal component. Higher
frequency gets quicker transient response. Configuration options: [Auto] [Manual]
DO NOT remove the thermal module when switching to [Manual] mode. The thermal
conditions should be monitored.
Fixed CPU VRM Switching Frequency(KHz) [xxxx]
This item only appears when you set the
CPU VRM Switching Frequency
to
[
Manual
]. This allows you set a fixed CPU VRM switching frequency. The configuration
options ranges from 300 KHz to 500 KHz with a 50k Hz interval.
CPU Power Phase Control [Auto]
Allows you to set the power phase based on the CPU. Configuration options: [Auto]
[Standard] [Optimized] [Extreme]
DO NOT remove the thermal module when setting this item to
[Extreme]
. The thermal
conditions should be monitored.
CPU Power Duty Control [T.Probe]
DIGI + VRM Duty Control adjusts the current of every VRM phase and the thermal conditions
of every component.
[T. Probe]
Select to maintain the VRM thermal balance.
[Extreme]
Select to maintain the current VRM balance.
CPU Current Capability [Auto]
Allows you to configure the total power range, and extends the overclocking frequency range
simultaneously. Configuration options: [Auto] [100%] [110%] [120%] [130%] [140%]
Choose a higher value when overclocking, or under a high CPU loading for extra power
support.
