ASUS EPU

ASUS EPU is an energy-efficient tool that provides you with a total system power-saving

solution. It detects the current computer loading and intelligently adjusts the power in

real-time. With auto phase switching for components, the EPU automatically provides the

most appropriate power usage via intelligent acceleration and overclocking.
ASUS EPU provides you with these modes to choose from:

•

Turbo Mode

•

High Performance Mode

When you select Auto Mode

, the system shifts modes automatically according to the

current system status. You can also configure advanced settings for each mode.

Launching EPU

DVD, double-click the EPU tray icon to launch the

program.
The first time you launch EPU, the

following message will appear, asking

you to run Calibration first. Running

calibration allows the system to detect

CPU properties to optimize power

management.
Click
