CPU Power Phase Control
Allows you to set the power phase control of the CPU.
[Auto]
Automatically selects the power phase control.
[Standard]
The number of active phases is controlled by the CPU.
[Optimized]
Sets the ASUS optimized phase profile.
[Extreme]
Sets full phase mode.
DO NOT remove the thermal module when setting this item to
[Extreme]
. The thermal
conditions should be monitored.
CPU Power Thermal Control
Allows you to set the VRM thermal cut-off trip point. 125 Celsius is default and
recommended for all overclocking and normal use. Can be set to a lower value if a
lower thermal cut-off point is preferred. Use the <+> or <-> to adjust the value. The
values range from125C to 145C with an interval of 1C.
Configuration options: [125] - [145]
DO NOT remove the VRM heatsink.
The following items appear only when using the onboard graphics.
CPU Graphics Load-line Calibration
The load-line is defined by the Intel VRM specification and affects the CPU Graphics
power voltage. The CPU Graphics working voltage will decrease proportionally
depending on the CPU Graphics loading. Higher levels of the load-line calibration
can get a higher voltage and a better overclocking performance but increase the CPU
Graphics and VRM thermal production. Select from level 1 to 8 to adjust the CPU
Graphics power voltage from 100% to 0%.
Configuration options [Auto] [Level 1] [Level 2] [Level 3] [Level 4:Recommended for
OC] [Level 5] [Level 6] [Level 7]
Boosted performance may vary depending on the CPU Graphics specification. DO NOT
remove the thermal module.
CPU Graphics Current Capability
The CPU Graphics current capability adjusts the total power range for CPU Graphics
overclocking. A higher value provides a wider total power range and extends the
overclocking frequency range simultaneously.
Configuration options: [Auto] [100%] [140%]
Configure higher values when overclocking or under a high CPU Graphics loading for
extra power support.
