This item allows you to set the power phase control of the CPU.
Configuration options: [Auto] [Standard] [Optimized] [Extreme] [Power Phase
Response]
DO NOT remove the thermal module when setting this item to [Extreme] or [Power Phase
Response] . The thermal conditions should be monitored.
CPU Power Thermal Control [115]
Higher temperature provides a wider CPU power thermal range and extends the
overclocking tolerance to enlarge the overclocking potential.
Configuration options: [115] - [136]
DO NOT remove the thermal module. The thermal conditions should be monitored
CPU Graphics Load-line Calibration [Auto]
The load-line is defined by the Intel VRM specification and affects the GT power
voltage. The GT working voltage will decrease proportionally depending on the GT
loading.
Configuration options: [Auto] [Level 0] - [Level 10]
The boosted performance may vary depending on the GT specification. DO NOT remove
the thermal module.
CPU Graphics Current Capability [Auto]
This item adjusts the total power range for GT overclocking. A higher value setting
provides higher power consumption delivery and extends the overclocking frequency
range simultaneously.
Configuration options: [Auto] [100%] [110%] [120%] [130%] [140%]
Configure higher values when overclocking or under a high GT loading for extra power
support.
CPU Graphics Switching Frequency [Auto]
This item affects the graphics transient response speed and the component thermal
production. Select [ Manual ] to configure a higher frequency for a quicker transient
response speed.
Configuration options: [Auto] [Manual]

response speed. Use the <+> or <-> to adjust the value. The values range
from 300 KHz to 600 KHz with an interval of 50 KHz.
