DO NOT remove the thermal module. The thermal conditions should be monitored.
CPU Current Capability [Auto]
This item provides a total power range for CPU overclocking. A higher value setting
provides higher power consumption delivery and extends the overclocking frequency
range simultaneously.
Conguration options: [Auto] [100%] [110%] [120%] [130%] [140%]
CPU Power Thermal Control [130]
A higher temperature brings a wider CPU power thermal range and extends the
overclocking tolerance to enlarge the overclocking potential. Use the <+> or <-> keys
to adjust the value. The values depend on the CPU installed.
DO NOT remove the thermal module. The thermal conditions should be monitored.
DRAM AB/CD Current Capability [100%]
This item adjusts the total power range for DRAM overclocking. Set a higher value
to provide a wider total power range and extends the overclocking frequency range
simultaneously.
Conguration options: [100%] [110%] [120%] [130%] [140%]
DRAM AB/CD Switching Frequency [Auto]
This item affects the overclocking range and system stability. Set this item to [Manual]
to manually set a xed DRAM switching frequency for an increased overclocking range
or enhanced system stability.
The following item appears only when you set the DRAM Switching Frequency to [Manual].
Fixed DRAM AB/CD Switching Frequency (KHz) [500]
This item allows you to set a higher frequency for an increased
overclocking range or a lower frequency for an enhanced system stability.
Use the <+> or <-> to adjust the value. The values range from 300 KHz to
550 KHz with an interval of 50 KHz.
DRAM Power Phase Control (CHA-CHB/CHC-CHD) [Disabled]
This item allows you to enable/disable the DRAM power phase control.
Conguration options: [Enabled] [Disabled]
Internal CPU Power Management
The subitems in this menu allow you to set the CPU ratio and its features.
Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology [Enabled]
This item allows the operating system to dynamically adjust the processor voltage and
cores frequency which decreases the average power consumption the average heat
production.
Conguration options: [Enabled] [Disabled]
