DIGI+ Power Control
DIGI+ Power Control utility allows you to adjust the CPU and DRAM power settings for an
optimum system efficiency, overall system stability and performance.
Adjusting the CPU power
CPU Load-line Calibration
CPU Load-line Calibration adjusts the voltage range and controls the system
temperature. Higher load-line calibration could get higher voltage and good
overclocking performance but increases the CPU and VRM thermal conditions.
CPU Current Capability
CPU Current Capability provides wider total power range for overclocking. A higher
value setting gets higher VRM power consumption delivery.
CPU Power Phase Control
CPU Power Phase Control allows you to get more transient and better thermal
performance by increasing the phase number under heavy system loading. To
increase VRM efficiency, reduce the phase number under light system loading.
* The system automatically sets the default to [Extreme] when using the Intel
®
iGPU.
CPU Power Thermal Control
A higher temperature brings a wider CPU power thermal range, and extends the
overclocking tolerance to enlarge overclocking potential.
CPU Voltage Frequency
CPU Voltage Frequency affects the VRM transient response and thermal
components. Higher VRM frequency gets quicker transient response.
Active Frequency Mode
Active Frequency Mode allows you to enhance the power saving condition of the
CPU. Tick on to enable this item to get a quicker transient response while saving
the CPU power.
CPU Power Duty Control
CPU Power Duty Control allows to balance the CPU load based on the
temperature or on the current system load.
