CPU Voltage Frequency [Auto]
Switching frequency affects the VRM transient response and the thermal component
conditions. Higher frequency gets quicker transient response.
Conguration options: [Auto] [Manual]
DO NOT remove the thermal module when setting this item to [Manual]. The thermal
conditions should be monitored.
The following items appear only when you set the CPU Voltage Frequency to [Auto].
VRM Spread Spectrum [Disabled]
Enable the VRM Spread Spectrum to enhance system stability.
Conguration options: [Disabled] [Enabled]
Active Frequency Mode [Disabled]
Set this item to Enabled to help enhance the power saving conditions while
switching frequencies. While a higher frequency makes the VRM transient
response much faster, switching frequencies affect the VRM thermal
components.
Conguration options: [Disabled] [Enabled]
The following item appears only when you set the CPU Voltage Frequency to [Manual].
CPU Fixed Frequency [300]
This item allows you to set a xed CPU frequency. Use the <+> or <-> keys
to adjust the valinterval.
CPU Power Phase Control [Auto]
Allows you to set the power phase control of the CPU.
Conguration options: [Auto] [Standard] [Optimized] [Extreme] [Manual Adjustment]
[Auto] Set the phase control on its default setting.
[Standard] Set the phase control based on the CPU command.
[Optimized] Set the ASUS optimized phase tuning prole.
[Extreme] Set the full phase mode
[Manual
Adjustment]
Set manually to a faster phase response to increase system
performance or to slower phase response to increase DRAM power
efciency.
The items VRM Spread Spectrum and Active Frequency Mode disappear when you set
the CPU Power Phase Control to [Extreme].
DO NOT remove the thermal module when setting this item to [Extreme] and [Manual
Adjustment]. The thermal conditions should be monitored.
