The following item appears only when you set the GT VRM Switching Frequency to
[Manual].
Fixed VCCGT Switching Frequency (KHz) [250]
This item allows you to set a higher frequency for a quicker transient response speed.
Use the <+> and <-> keys to adjust the value. The values range from 250KHz to
500KHz with a 50KHz interval.
CPU Graphics Power Duty Control [T.Probe]
The GT power duty control adjusts the current and thermal conditions of every component’s
phase.
[T. Probe] Select to maintain the VRM thermal balance.
[Extreme] Select to maintain the current VRM balance.
CPU Graphics Power Phase Control [Auto]
This item allows you to set the power phase control of GT. Conguration options: [Auto]

2.5.11 Internal CPU Power Management
The subitems in this menu allow you to set the CPU ratio and their features.
Intel(R) SpeedStep(tm) [Auto]
This item allows the operating system to dynamically adjust the processor voltage and cores
frequency, resulting to a decreased average power consumption and decreased average
heat production. Conguration options: [Auto] [Disabled] [Enabled]
Turbo Mode [Enabled]
This item allows you to automatically set the CPU cores to run faster than the base operating
frequency when it is below the operating power, current and temperature specication limit.
Conguration options: [Enabled] [Disabled]
• Turbo Mode is only available on selected CPU models only.
• The following three items appear only when you set Turbo Mode to [enabled[].
Turbo Mode Parameters
Long Duration Package Power Limit [Auto]
Allows you to limit the Turbo Ratio’s time duration that exceeds the TDP (Thermal
Design Power) for maximum performance. Use the <+> or <-> keys to adjust the value.
The values range from 1 W to 4095 W.
Package Power Time Window [Auto]
Also known as Power Limit 1, this item allows you to maintain the time window for
Turbo Ratio over TDP (Thermal Design Power). Use the <+> or <-> keys to adjust the
value. The values range from 1 to 127 in seconds.
