ROG STRIX X299-E Gaming BIOS Manual
The actual performance boost may vary depending on your CPU specication.
DO NOT remove the thermal module. The thermal conditions should be monitored.
CPU Current Capability
This item allows you to set the shut off current limit for external voltage regulator. A
higher setting will allow the voltage regulator to supply more current while a lower
setting will cause the voltage regulator to shut off the system when the supplied
current is higher than the set value.
Conguration options: [Auto] [100%] [140%] [200%]
Congure higher values when overclocking or under a high loading for extra power
support.
CPU VRM Switching Frequency
This item affects the VRM transient response speed and the component thermal
production. Setting a higher switching frequency will result in better transient response
at the expense of higher VRM temperatures. Active cooling of the VRM heatsink is
recommended when running high CPU voltage and high load-line calibration values.
Conguration options: [Auto] [Manual]
DO NOT remove the thermal module. The thermal conditions should be monitored.
The following item appears only when CPU VRM Switching Frequency is set to
[Manual].
Fixed CPU VRM Switching Frequency (KHz)
This item allows you to set a higher frequency for a quicker transient
response speed. Use the <+> or <-> to adjust the value. The values range
from 300 KHz to 600 KHz.
The following item appears only when CPU VRM Switching Frequency is set to [Auto].
VRM Spread Spectrum
This item allows reduced magnitude of peak noise from the VRM. Disable
this settings when overclocking.
Conguration options: [Auto] [Disabled] [Enabled]
CPU Power Duty Control
CPU power duty control adjusts the duty cycle of each VRM phase based upon
current and/or temperature.
[T. Probe] Sets the buck controller to balance VRM FET temperatures.
[Extreme] Sets the buck controller to balance per phase current.
DO NOT remove the VRM heatsink.
