1.1.2 ASUS DIGI+ VRM
DIGI+ Power Control: Digital Power Design for the APU*
ASUS motherboards using the AMD
®
A85X chipset employ precise digital voltage regulation
for the APU, called DIGI+ VRM (Voltage Regulation Modules) digital power design. The APU
voltage is adjusted via either carefully developed automated modes, or by using user-dened
proles. The effect is that DIGI+ VRM technology ensures greater energy efciency and the
most precise power delivery. Boosted by world-renowned ASUS quality, it creates an ideal
computing platform for a diverse range of applications, from gaming to multimedia or ofce
work and heavy multitasking. Engineered and tested to assure unmitigated performance,
ASUS A85X boards with DIGI+ VRM remain efcient and accurate, for reliable application in
every scenario.
* DIGI+ VRM functions are also available in FM2 socket compatible CPUs.
