Primary Plane Current Limit [Auto] Maximum instantaneous current allowed at any given time for CPU cores Use and key to adjust the value at 0.125A increment. . Secondary Plane Current Limit [Auto] Maximum instantaneous current allowed at any given time for Internal Graphics cores. Use and key to adjust the value at 0.125A increment. DIGI+ Power Control DO NOT remove the thermal module while changing the DIGI+ Power Control related parameters . The thermal conditions should be monitored. Some of the following items are adjusted by typing the desired values using the numeric keypad and press the key. You can also use the and keys to adjust the value. To restore the default setting, type [auto] using the keyboard and press the key. CPU Load-Line Calibration [Auto] CPU Load-line is defined by Intel VRM spec and affects CPU voltage. The CPU working voltage will decrease proportionally to CPU loading. Higher load-line calibration would get higher voltage and better overclocking performance, but increase the CPU and VRM thermal. This item allows you to adjust the voltage range from the following percentages to boost the system performance: 0% (Regular), 25% (Medium), 50% (High), 75% (Ultra High) and 100% (Extreme). Configuration options: [Auto] [Regular] [Medium] [High] [Ultra High] [Extreme] The actual performance boost may vary depending on your CPU specification. CPU Voltage Frequency [Auto] This item allows you to configure the CPU voltage's VRM transient response and component thermal conditions. Higher frequency gets a quicker transient response. Configuration options: [Auto] [Manual] CPU Power Phase Control [Auto] Phase number is the number of working VRM phase. Increasing phase number under heavy system loading to get more transient and better thermal performance. Reducing phase number under light system loading to increase VRM efficiency [Auto] The default power control phase mode [Standard] Proceeds phase control depending on the CPU loading. [Optimized] Loads the ASUS optimized phase tuning profile. [Extreme] Proceeds the full phase mode. [Manual Adjustment] Allows manual adjustment. Chapter 3 ASUS MAXIMUS V FORMULA Series 3-13

Primary Plane Current Limit [Auto]

Maximum instantaneous current allowed at any given time for CPU cores

Use <+> and <-> key to adjust the value at 0.125A increment. .

Secondary Plane Current Limit [Auto]

Maximum instantaneous current allowed at any given time for Internal

Graphics cores. Use <+> and <-> key to adjust the value at 0.125A

increment.

DIGI+ Power Control

DO NOT remove the thermal module while changing the DIGI+ Power Control related

parameters . The thermal conditions should be monitored.

Some of the following items are adjusted by typing the desired values using the numeric

keypad and press the <Enter> key. You can also use the <+> and <-> keys to adjust the

value. To restore the default setting, type [auto] using the keyboard and press the <Enter>

key.

CPU Load-Line Calibration [Auto]

CPU Load-line is deﬁned by Intel VRM spec and affects CPU voltage. The CPU

working voltage will decrease proportionally to CPU loading. Higher load-line

calibration would get higher voltage and better overclocking performance, but increase

the CPU and VRM thermal. This item allows you to adjust the voltage range from the

This item allows you to conﬁgure the CPU voltage’s VRM transient response and

component thermal conditions. Higher frequency gets a quicker transient response.

Conﬁguration options: [Auto] [Manual]

CPU Power Phase Control [Auto]

Phase number is the number of working VRM phase. Increasing phase number under

heavy system loading to get more transient and better thermal performance. Reducing

phase number under light system loading to increase VRM efﬁciency

[Auto]

The default power control phase mode

[Standard]

Proceeds phase control depending on the CPU

[Optimized]

Loads the ASUS optimized phase tuning proﬁle.

[Extreme]

Proceeds the full phase mode.

[Manual Adjustment]

Allows manual adjustment.
