CPU Graphics Switching Frequency
The switching frequency will affect the CPU Graphics transient response speed and
the component thermal production.
Conguration 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 Graphics Switching Frequency to
[Manual].
Fixed CPU Graphics 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.
CPU Graphics Power Phase Control
This item allows you to set the power phase control of the CPU Graphics.
Conguration options: [Auto] [Standard] [Extreme]
DO NOT remove the thermal module when setting this item to [Extreme]. The thermal
conditions should be monitored.
DRAM Current Capability
This item provides a total power range for DRAM overclocking. A higher value setting
provides higher power consumption delivery and extends the overclocking frequency
range simultaneously.
Conguration options: [100%] [110%] [120%] [130%]
Congure higher values when overclocking or under a high CPU loading for extra power
support.
DRAM Power Phase Control
This item allows you to set the power phase control of the DRAM.
Conguration options: [Optimized] [Extreme]
DRAM Switching Frequency
This item affects the VRM transient response speed and the component thermal
production. Select [Manual] to congure a higher frequency for a quicker transient
response speed.
Conguration options: [Auto] [Manual]
DO NOT remove the thermal module. The thermal conditions should be monitored.
