Back to Quick Menu CPU Voltage Frequency CPU Voltage Frequency affects the VRM transient response and thermal conditions. Higher VRM frequency gets a quicker transient response. Active Frequency Mode Active Frequency Mode allows you to enhance the power saving condition of the CPU. Tick ON to get a quicker transient response while saving the CPU power. CPU Power Duty Control CPU Power Duty Control adjusts the current of every VRM phase and the thermal conditions of every phase component. Adjusting the DRAM Power Click or tap to undo the changes Click or tap to apply the changes DRAM Current Capability A higher value brings a wider total power range and extends the overclocking frequency range simultaneously. DRAM Voltage Frequency Allows you to adjust the DRAM switching frequency to stabilize the system or to increase the overclocking range. DRAM Power Phase Control Select Extreme for full phase mode to increase system performance or select Optimized for ASUS optimized phase tuning profile to increase the DRAM power efficiency. • The actual performance boost may vary depending on your CPU specification. • Ensure that the cooling modules are properly installed in your motherboard to monitor the thermal conditions. 14 ASUS Z87 Series AI Suite 3
