Chapter 3
CPU Power Thermal Control [130]
A higher temperature brings a wider CPU power thermal range and extends the overclocking
tolerance to enlarge the O.C. potential. Use the <+> and <-> keys to adjust the value. The
values range from 130 to 151.
DO NOT remove the thermal module. The thermal conditions should be monitored.
CPU Power Response Control [Auto]
The DIG+ VRM controller provides a faster, and precise power response rate for the CPU.
Apply a higher value for an extreme overclocking.
Configuration options: [Auto] [Regular: 100%] [Medium: 150%] [Fast: 200%]
[Ultra Fast: 250%]
The actual performance boost may vary depending on your CPU configuration.
iGPU Load-line Calibration [Auto]
Load-line is defined by Intel VRM specifications and affects the iGPU voltage. The iGPU
working voltage decreases to integrate graphics loading. A higher value gets a higher CPU
voltage and great performance but increases the CPU and thermal conditions.
Configuration options: [Auto] [Regular] [High] [Extreme]
The actual performance boost may vary depending on your CPU specification.
iGPU Current Capability [Auto]
A higher value brings a wider total iGPU power range and extends the overclocking
frequency range to enhance iGPU performance.
Configuration options: [100%] [110%] [120%] [130%] [140%]
DO NOT remove the thermal module. The thermal conditions must be monitored.
DRAM Current Capability [100%]
A higher value brings a wider total power range, and extends the overclocking range
simultaneously.
Configuration options: [100%] [110%] [120%] [130%]
DRAM Voltage Frequency [Auto]
Allows you to adjust the DRAM switching frequency. Assign a fixed high DRAM frequency to
increase the O.C. range, or a low DRAM frequency for a better system stability.
Configuration options: [Auto] [Manual]
DRAM Fixed Frequency Mode [300]
This item only appears when you set the DRAM Frequency Mode item to [Manual] ,
and allows you to set a fixed DRAM frequency. Use the <+> and <-> keys to adjust the
value. The values range from 300k Hz to 500k Hz with a 10k Hz interval.
