DIGI+ VRM VRM Initialization Check [Disabled] Enable or disable this item if any error occurs during VRM initialization. Configuration options [Disabled] [Enabled] CPU Load-line Calibration [Auto] Load-line is defined by Intel® specification and affects CPU power voltage. The CPU working voltage decreases proportionally to CPU loading. Higher load-line calibration could get higher voltage and good overclocking performance, but increases the CPU and VRM thermal conditions. Select from levels 1 to 8 to adjust the CPU power voltage from 0% to 100%. Configuration options [Auto] [Level 1] - [Level 8] The actual performance boost may vary depending on your CPU specification. DO NOT remove the thermal module. The thermal conditions should be monitored. CPU Current Capability [Auto] This item provides a total power range for CPU overclocking. A higher value setting provides higher power consumption delivery and extends the overclocking frequency range simultaneously. Configuration options: [Auto] [100%] [110%] [120%] [130%] [140%] Configure higher values when overclocking or under a high CPU loading for extra power support. CPU VRM Switching Frequency [Auto] This item affects the VRM 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 CPU VRM Switching Frequency to [Manual]. Fixed CPU VRM Switching Frequency (KHz) [300] This item allows you to set a higher frequency for a quicker transient response speed. Use the or to adjust the value. The values range from 300 KHz to 600 KHz with an interval of 50 KHz. Do not remove the thermal module when the manual mode is selected. The thermal conditions should be monitored.
