CPU Power Duty Control [T.Probe] DIGI + VRM Duty Control adjusts the current and thermal conditions of every component's phase. [T. Probe] Select to maintain the VRM thermal balance. [Extreme] Select to maintain the current VRM balance. CPU Current Capability [100%] Allows you to configure the total power range, and extends the overclocking frequency range simultaneously. Configuration options: [100%] [110%] [120%] [130%] [140%] Choose a higher value when overclocking, or under a high CPU loading for extra power support. CPU Power Thermal Control [130] A higher temperature brings a wider CPU power thermal range and extends the overclocking tolerance to enlarge the O.C. potential. Use the and keys to adjust the value. The values range from 130 to 151. DO NOT remove the thermal module. The thermal conditions should be monitored. CPU Power Response Control [Auto] The DIG+ VRM controller provides a faster, and precise power response rate for the CPU. Apply a higher value for an extreme overclocking. Configuration options: [Auto] [Regular: 100%] [Medium: 150%] [Fast: 200%] [Ultra Fast: 250%] The actual performance boost may vary depending on your CPU configuration. iGPU Load-line Calibration [Auto] Load-line is defined by Intel VRM specifications and affects the iGPU voltage. The iGPU working voltage decreases to integrate graphics loading. A higher value gets a higher CPU voltage and great performance but increases the CPU and thermal conditions. Configuration options: [Auto] [Regular] [High] [Extreme] The actual performance boost may vary depending on your CPU specification. Chapter 3 3-16 Chapter 3: BIOS setup

Chapter 3

CPU Power Duty Control [T.Probe]

DIGI + VRM Duty Control adjusts the current and thermal conditions of every component’s

phase.

[T. Probe]

Select to maintain the VRM thermal balance.

[Extreme]

Select to maintain the current VRM balance.

CPU Current Capability [100%]

Allows you to conﬁgure the total power range, and extends the overclocking frequency range

simultaneously. Conﬁguration options: [100%] [110%] [120%] [130%] [140%]

Choose a higher value when overclocking, or under a high CPU loading for extra power

support.

CPU Power Thermal Control [130]

A higher temperature brings a wider CPU power thermal range and extends the overclocking

tolerance to enlarge the O.C. potential. Use the <+> and <-> keys to adjust the value. The

values range from 130 to 151.

DO NOT remove the thermal module. The thermal conditions should be monitored.

CPU Power Response Control [Auto]

The DIG+ VRM controller provides a faster, and precise power response rate for the CPU.

Apply a higher value for an extreme overclocking.

Conﬁguration options: [Auto] [Regular: 100%] [Medium: 150%] [Fast: 200%] [Ultra Fast:

250%]

The actual performance boost may vary depending on your CPU conﬁguration.

iGPU Load-line Calibration [Auto]

Load-line is deﬁned by Intel VRM speciﬁcations and affects the iGPU voltage. The iGPU

working voltage decreases to integrate graphics loading. A higher value gets a higher CPU

voltage and great performance but increases the CPU and thermal conditions.

Conﬁguration options: [Auto] [Regular] [High] [Extreme]

The actual performance boost may vary depending on your CPU speciﬁcation.
