CPU Fixed Frequency [xxx]
Switching frequency will affect the VRM transient response and component thermal. Setting
a higher frequency gets faster transient response.The values range from200K to 350K with a
50K interval. Use <+>/<-> to adjust the value.
CPU Power Phase Control [Standard]
Phase number is the number of working VRM phase. Increasing phase number under heavy
system loading to get more transient and better thermal performance. Reducing phase
number under light system loading to increase VRM efciency.
[Standard] Proceeds phase control depending on the CPU loading.
[Optimized] Loads the ASUS optimized phase tuning prole.
[Extreme] Proceeds the full phase mode.
[Manual Adjustment] Allows manual adjustment.
DO NOT remove the thermal module when switching to [Manual Adjustment]. The thermal
conditions should be monitored.
Manual Adjustment [Medium]
This item appears only when you set the previous item to [Manual Adjustment] and allows
you to select manual adjustment mode. Conguration options: [Ultra Fast] [Fast] [Medium]
[Regular].
CPU Power Duty Control [T.Probe]
DIGI + VRM Duty control adjusts the current and thermal conditions of every component’s
phase. Conguration options:
[T. Probe] - Select to maintain the VRM thermal balance.
[Extreme] - Select to maintain the current VRM balance.
CPU Current Capability [100%]
Allows you to congure the total power range, and extends the overclocking frequency range
simultaneously. Conguration options: [100%] [110%] [120%]
Choose a higher value when overclocking, or under a high CPU loading for extra power
support.
iGPU Load-line Calibration [Auto]
Load-line Calibration is dened by Intel VRM specications and affects iGPU voltage. The
iGPU working voltage will decrease proportionally to the integrated graphics loading. Higher
load-line calibration would get higher voltage and better overclocking performance, but
increase the CPU and VRM thermal. This item allows you to adjust the voltage range from
the following percentages to boost the system performance: 0% (Regular), 50% (High) and
100% (Extreme). Conguration options: [Auto] [Regular] [High] [Extreme]
