Target CPU Speed : xxxxMHz Displays the current CPU speed. Target DRAM Speed : xxxxMHz Displays the current DRAM speed. 2.5.1 Memory Frequency [Auto] Allows you to set the memory operating frequency. Configuration options: [Auto] [DDR3800MHz] [DDR3-1066MHz] [DDR3-1333MHz] [DDR3-1600MHz] [DDR3-1866MHz] [DDR32133MHz] [DDR3-2400MHz] Selecting a very high memory frequency may cause the system to become unstable! If this happens, revert to the default setting. 2.5.2 APU Multiplier [Auto] Allows you to set the multiplier between the APU Core Clock and the APU Bus Frequency. Use the and keys to adjust the ratio. The valid value ranges vary according to your CPU model. 2.5.3 NB Frequency [Auto] Allows you to adjust the NB frequency. Use the and keys to adjust the value. You can also key in the desired value using the numeric keypad. 2.5.4 EPU Power Saving Mode [Disabled] Allows you to enable or disable the EPU power saving function. Configuration options: [Disabled] [Enabled] EPU Setting [Auto] This item appears only when The EPU Power Saving Mode is set to [Enabled] and allows you to set power saving mode. Configuration options: [Auto] [Light Power Saving Mode] [Medium Power Saving Mode] [Max Power Saving Mode] 2.5.5 DRAM Timing Control The sub-items in this menu allow you to set the DRAM timing control features. Use the and keys to adjust the value. To restore the default setting, type [auto] using the keyboard and press . 2.5.6 Changing the values in this menu may cause the system to become unstable! If this happens, revert to the default settings. TDP Configuration This item appears depending on the APU type installed. Target TDP [Auto] Allows you to manually set up a TDP (Thermal Design Power) value. The processor will run within the specified TDP to constrain power consumption. 2-14 Chapter 2: BIOS information
