CPU Power Thermal Control [120]
A higher temperature brings a wider CPU power thermal range and extends the
overclocking tolerance to enlarge the overclocking potential. Use the <+> or <-> keys
to adjust the value. The values depend on the CPU installed.
DO NOT remove the thermal module. The thermal conditions should be monitored.
DRAM Current Capability [100%]
This item adjusts the total power range for DRAM overclocking. Set a higher value
to provide a wider total power range and extends the overclocking frequency range
simultaneously.
Configuration options: [100%] [110%] [120%] [130%]
DRAM Switching Frequency [Auto]
This item affects the overclocking range and system stability. Set this item to [Manual]
to manually set a fixed DRAM switching frequency for an increased overclocking range
or enhanced system stability.
The following item appears only when you set the DRAM Switching Frequency to [Manual] .
Fixed DRAM Switching Frequency (KHz) [300]
This item allows you to set a higher frequency for an increased
overclocking range or a lower frequency for an enhanced system stability.
Use the <+> or <-> to adjust the value. The values range from 300 KHz to
500 KHz with an interval of 50 KHz.

cores frequency, resulting to a decreased average power consumption and decreased
average heat production.
Configuration options: [Disabled] [Enabled]
