2.5.6 OC Tuner [Keep Current Settings]* This item allows you to automatically overclock the CPU and DRAM frequencies and voltage for an enhanced system performance. It also accelerates the CPU graphics performance to the extreme depending on the CPU graphics loading. Configuration options: [Keep Current Settings] [OC Tuner I] [OC Tuner II] Ensure that you installed an efficient CPU fan for CPU and graphics loading before selecting either [OC Tuner I] or [OC Tuner II]. To keep the current overclocking tuner status, select [Keep Current Settings]. 2.5.7 Power-saving & Performance Mode [Auto] [Auto] Automatically adjusts the power usage based on the system load. [Max Power-Saving Mode] Enables all power-saving settings for maximum energy-saving condition. [Performance Mode] D isables all power-saving settings for a high system performance. 2.5.8 CPU SVID Support [Auto] Disabling SVID Support stops the processor from communicating with the external voltage regulator. Configuration options: [Auto] [Disabled] [Enabled] 2.5.9 DRAM Timing Control The subitems 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 the key. Changing the values in this menu may cause the system to become unstable! If this happens, revert to the default settings. 2.5.10 DIGI+ VRM CPU Load-Line Calibration [Auto] Load-line is defined by Intel VRM specification and affects the CPU power voltage. The CPU working voltage will decrease proportionally depending on the CPU loading. Higher levels of the load-line calibration can get a higher voltage and a better overclocking performance but increases the CPU and VRM thermal. Configuration options: [Auto][Level 1] [Level 2] ~ [Level 6] [Level 7] The boosted performance may vary depending on the CPU specification. Do not remove the thermal module. CPU 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 CPU loading for extra power support. 2-22 Chapter 2: Getting started
