CPU Power Phase Control
This item allows you to set the power phase control of the CPU.
Conguration options: [Auto] [Standard] [Optimized] [Extreme]
DO NOT remove the VRM heatsink.
CPU Power Thermal Control
This item allows you to set the VRM thermal cut-off trip point. 115 Celsius is default
and recommended for all overclocking and normal use. Can be set to a lower value if
a lower thermal cut-off point is preferred. Use the <+> or <-> to adjust the value.
DO NOT remove the VRM heatsink.
DRAM Current Capability
This item allows you to set the shut off current limit for external DRAM 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: [100%] [130%]
Congure higher values when overclocking or when using high current memory stress
tests. Auto is congured to work with all congurations by default and should not need
adjustments unless running very high memory frequencies with high density memory
modules.
DRAM 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 more switching noise.
Conguration options: [Auto] [Manual]
The following item appears only when you set DRAM Switching Frequency to [Manual].
Fixed DRAM Switching Frequency (KHz)
This item will affect the overclocking range and system stability. Congure
a higher frequency to increase the overclocking range of a lower
frequency to enhance the system stability. Use the <+> or <-> to adjust
the value. The values range from 300 KHz to 500 KHz.
Boot Voltages
CPU Input Boot Voltage
This item will allow you to set the voltage for CPU at initial boot.
Conguration options: [Auto] [0.800] – [2.700]
CPU System Agent Boot Voltage
This item will allow you to set the CPU System Agent voltage at initial boot up.
Conguration options: [Auto] [0.700] – [1.800]
