CPU Load-line Calibration
Load-line is dened by Intel
®
specication and affects CPU power voltage. The CPU
working voltage decreases proportionally to CPU loading. Higher load-line calibration
could get higher voltage and good overclocking performance, but increases the CPU
and VRM thermal conditions. Select from levels 1 to 7 to adjust the load-line slope.
Conguration options [Auto] [Level 1] - [Level 7]
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%] [110%] [120%] [130%] [140%]
Congure higher values when overclocking or under a high CPU loading for extra power
support.
CPU VRM Switching Frequency
This item affects the VRM transient response speed and the component thermal
production. Select [Manual] to congure a higher frequency for a quicker transient
response speed.
Conguration options: [Auto] [Manual]
DO NOT remove the thermal module. The thermal conditions should be monitored.
The following item appears only when you set the CPU VRM Switching Frequency 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 250 KHz to 500 KHz with an interval of 50 KHz.
Do not remove the thermal module when the manual mode is selected. The thermal
conditions should be monitored.
