2.5.10 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. 2.5.11 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 1-7] The boosted performance may vary depending on the CPU specification. Do not remove the thermal module. 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) [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 250KHz to 500KHz with a 50KHz interval. 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] 2-22 Chapter 2: Getting started

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 1-7]
The boosted performance may vary depending on the CPU specification. Do not remove
the thermal module.
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) [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 250KHz to
500KHz with a 50KHz interval.
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]
