ROG Crosshair V Formula

4-15

CPU.Current.Capability

CPU Current Capability provides wider

total power range for overclocking. A

higher value setting gets higher VRM

power consumption delivery.
A higher value brings a wider total power

range and extends the overclocking

frequency range simultaneously.

Do not remove the thermal module when switching to Manual mode. The

thermal conditions should be monitored.

CPU.Voltage.Frequency

Switching frequency will affect the VRM

transient response and component

thermal. Higher frequency gets quicker

transient response.
Enable Spread Spectrum to enhance

system stability.
• VRM Fixed Frequency Range:

300–550kHz

• Manual Frequency Step: 10kHz

Suggestion: choose higher value when overclocking or under high CPU loading

for extra power support.
