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 [120]
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%]
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]
Turbo Mode [Enabled]
This item allows you to enable your core processor’s speed to run faster than the
base operating frequency when it is below operating power, current and temperature
specication limit.
Conguration options: [Disabled] [Enabled]
