4.3.4 DIGI+ Power Control
DIGI+ PowerControl allows you to adjust VRM voltage and frequency modulation to enhance
reliability and stability. It also provides the highest power efciency, generating less heat to
longer component lifespan and minimize power loss.
After installing AI Suite II from the motherboard support DVD, launch DIGI+ Power Control
by clicking Tool > DIGI+ Power Control on the AI Suite II main menu bar.
Select CPU Power or DRAM Power to adjust the power control settings.

1 CPU Load-line Calibration
It allows you to adjust the voltage settings and control the system
temperature. Higher load-line calibration could get higher voltage and
good overclocking performance but increases the CPU and VRM thermal.
2 CPU Current Capability
CPU Current Capability provides wider total power range for overclocking.
A higher value setting gets higher VRM power consumption delivery.
3 CPU Voltage Frequency
Switching frequency will affect the VRM transient response and
component thermal. Higher frequency gets quicker transient response.
4 CPU Power Phase Control
Increase phase number under heavy system loading to get more transient
and better thermal performance. Reduce phase number under light
system loading to increase VRM efciency.
5 iGPU Load line Calibration
Load-line is dened by Intel VRM specications and affects the iGPU
voltage. The iGPU working voltage decreases proportionally to integrated
graphics loading. A higher value can get a higher iGPU voltage and a
good performance, but decreases the CPU and VRM thermal conditions.
6 iGPU Current Capability
A higher value brings wider total iGPU power range and extends the
overclocking frequency range simultaneously to enhance the iGPU
performance.
