Offset Voltage [Auto]
This item appears only when you set the CPU Voltage Mode item to [Offset] and allows you
to set the Offset voltage. The values range from 0.00625V to 0.50000V with a 0.00625V
interval.
Offset Sign [-]
This item appears only when you set the Offset Voltage item to a value other than [Auto].
[+] To offset the voltage by a positive value.
[–] To offset the voltage by a negative value.
Fixed Voltage [Auto]
This item appears only whne you set the CPU Voltage Mode item to [Manual] and allows you
to set a xed CPU voltage. The values range from 0.85V to 1.70V with a 0.00625V interval.
Refer to the CPU documentation before setting the CPU Vcore voltage. Setting a high
VCore voltage may damage the CPU permanently, and setting a low VCore voltage may
make the system unstable.
3.5.13 IMC Voltage [Auto]
Allows you to set the CPU Integrated Memory Controller voltage. The values range from 1.1V
to 1.7 with a 0.0125V interval.
3.5.14 DRAM Voltage [Auto]
Allows you to set the DRAM voltage. The values range from 1.5V to 2.5V* with a 0.0125V
interval.
• The value [2.5V] of the DRAM Voltage item is supported only if the OV_DRAM switch
is enabled. Otherwise the maximum voltage supported is [2.0V]. This item can be
automatically optimized if you install a XMP DIMM. See 2. DRAM overvoltage setting
on page 2-26 for details.
• According to Intel CPU spec, DIMMs with voltage requirement over 1.65V may
damage the CPU permanently. We recommend you install the DIMMs with the voltage
requirement below 1.65V.
3.5.15 CPU PLL Voltage [Auto]
Allows you to set the CPU PLL voltage. The values range from 1.8V to 2.1V with a 0.1V
interval.
3.5.16 PCH Voltage [Auto]
Allows you to set the Platform Controller Hub voltage. The values range from 1.05V to 1.15V
with a 0.10V interval.
• The values of the IMC Voltage, DRAM Voltage, and CPU PLL Voltage items are
labeled in different color, indicating the risk levels of high voltage settings. Refer to the
table below for details.
• The system may need better cooling system to work stably under high voltage
settings.
