Chapter 2: Getting started
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 200KHz to
350KHz with a 50KHz interval.
VRM Spread Spectrum [Auto]
Enable this item to enhance the system stability. Configuration options: [Disabled] [Enabled]
CPU Power Duty Control [T.Probe]
DIGI + VRM Duty control adjusts the current and thermal conditions of every component’s
phase.
[T. Probe]
Select to maintain the VRM thermal balance.
[Extreme]
Select to maintain the current VRM balance.
CPU Power Phase Control [Auto]
This item allows you to set the power phase control of the CPU. Configuration options: [Auto]
[Standard] [Optimized] [Extreme]
DRAM Current Capability [Auto]
The DRAM current capability adjusts the total power range for DRAM overclocking. A higher
value provides a wider total power range and extends the overclocking frequency range
simultaneously. Configuration options: [100%] [110%] [120%] [130%]
DRAM Power Phase Control [Optimized]
[Optimized]
Set to the ASUS optimized phase tuning profile.
[Extreme]
Set to the full phase mode.
Fixed DRAM Switching Frequency (KHz)
The DRAM switching frequency will affect the overclocking range and system stability.
Configure a higher frequency to increase the overclocking range or a lower frequency to
enhance system stability.
