CPU Power Phase Control [Auto] This item allows you to set the power phase control of the CPU. Configuration options: [Auto] [Standard] [Optimized] [Extreme] [Power Phase Response] DO NOT remove the thermal module when setting this item to [Power Phase Response]. The thermal conditions should be monitored. The following item appears only when you set the CPU Power Phase Control to [Power Phase Response]. Power Phase Response [Fast] This item allows you to set a faster phase response for the CPU to increase system performance or to slower phase response to decrease DRAM power efficiency. Configuration options: [Ultra Fast] [Fast] [Medium] [Regular] CPU Graphics Load-Line Calibration [Auto] Load-line is defined by Intel VRM specification and affects the GT power voltage. The GT working voltage will decrease proportionally depending on the GT loading. Higher levels of the load-line calibration can get a higher voltage and a better overclocking performance but increases the GT and VRM thermal. Select from level 1 to 7 to adjust the GT power voltage from 0% to 100%. Configuration options: [Auto] [Level 1] [Level 2] ~ [Level 6] [Level 7] The boosted performance may vary depending on the GT specification. Do not remove the thermal module. CPU Graphics Current Capability [Auto] Allows you to configure the total power range, and extends the overclocking frequency range simultaneously. Configuration options: [Auto] [100%] [110%] [120%] [130%] [140%] Choose a higher value when overclocking, or under a high GT loading for extra power support. CPU Graphics [Auto] The switching frequency will affect the GT transient response speed and the component thermal production. Select [Manual] to configure a higher frequency for a quicker transient response speed. Configuration options: [Auto] [Manual] DO NOT remove the thermal module. The thermal conditions should be monitored. The following item appears only when you set the GT VRM Switching Frequency to [Manual]. Fixed VCCGT Switching Frequency (KHz) [250] This item allows you to set a higher frequency for a quicker transient response speed. Use the and keys to adjust the value. The values range from 300KHz to 600KHz with a 50KHz interval. 2-24 Chapter 2: Getting started

CPU Power Phase Control [Auto]
This item allows you to set the power phase control of the CPU. Configuration options: [Auto]
[Standard] [Optimized] [Extreme] [Power Phase Response]
DO NOT remove the thermal module when setting this item to
[Power Phase Response]
.
The thermal conditions should be monitored.
The following item appears only when you set the CPU Power Phase Control to
[Power
Phase Response]
.
Power Phase Response [Fast]
This item allows you to set a faster phase response for the CPU to increase system
performance or to slower phase response to decrease DRAM power efficiency.
Configuration options: [Ultra Fast] [Fast] [Medium] [Regular]
CPU Graphics Load-Line Calibration [Auto]
Load‑line is defined by Intel VRM specification and affects the GT power voltage. The GT
working voltage will decrease proportionally depending on the GT loading. Higher levels of
the load‑line calibration can get a higher voltage and a better overclocking performance but
increases the GT and VRM thermal. Select from level 1 to 7 to adjust the GT power voltage
from 0% to 100%. Configuration options: [Auto] [Level 1] [Level 2] ~ [Level 6] [Level 7]
The boosted performance may vary depending on the GT specification. Do not remove the
thermal module.
CPU Graphics Current Capability [Auto]
Allows you to configure the total power range, and extends the overclocking frequency range
simultaneously. Configuration options: [Auto] [100%] [110%] [120%] [130%] [140%]
Choose a higher value when overclocking, or under a high GT loading for extra power
support.
CPU Graphics [Auto]
The switching frequency will affect the GT transient response speed and the component
thermal production. Select [Manual] to configure a higher frequency for a quicker transient
response speed. Configuration options: [Auto] [Manual]
