CPU Power
You can congure the following CPU Power items:
• CPU Power Duty Control
CPU Power Duty Control adjusts the current of every VRM phase and the thermal
conditions of every phase component.
• CPU Load-line Calibration
CPU Load-line Calibration adjusts the voltage range and controls the system
temperature. Higher load-line calibration could get higher voltage and good
overclocking performance but increases the CPU and VRM thermal conditions.
• CPU Current Capability
CPU Current Capability provides wider total power range for overclocking. A higher
value setting gets higher VRM power consumption delivery.
• CPU Power Thermal Control
A higher temperature brings a wider CPU power thermal range, and extends the
overclocking tolerance to enlarge overclocking potential.
• CPU Power Phase Control
CPU Power Phase Control allows you to get more transient and better thermal
performance by increasing the phase number under heavy system loading. To increase
VRM efciency, reduce the phase number under light system loading.
* The system automatically sets the default to [Extreme] when using the Intel
®
iGPU.
• CPU Voltage Frequency
CPU Voltage Frequency affects the VRM transient response and thermal components.
Higher VRM frequency gets quicker transient response.
DRAM Power
You can congure the following DRAM items:
• DRAM Power Phase Control
Select Extreme for full phase mode to increase system performance or select
Optimized for ASUS optimized phase tuning prole to increase DRAM power efciency.
• DRAM Current Capability
A higher value brings a wider total power range and extends the overclocking
frequency range simultaneously.
• DRAM Voltage Frequency
Allows you to adjust the DRAM switching frequency for system stability or to increase
OC Range.
• The actual performance boost may vary depending on your CPU specication.
• Do not remove the thermal module. The thermal conditions must be monitored.
DIGI+ Power Control
DIGI+ Power Control allows you to adjust the VRM voltage and frequency for optimal system
efciency, overall system stability and performance.
