External DIGI+ Power Control
VRM Initialization Check [Disabled]
Enable or disable this item if any error occurs during VRM initialization.
Configuration options [Disabled] [Enabled]
CPU Load-line Calibration [Auto]
Load-line is defined by Intel
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 8 to adjust the CPU power voltage
from 0% to 100%.
Configuration options [Auto] [Level 1] - [Level 8]
The actual performance boost may vary depending on your CPU specification.
DO NOT remove the thermal module. The thermal conditions should be monitored.
CPU Current Capability [Auto]
This item provides a total power range for CPU overclocking. A higher value setting
provides higher power consumption delivery and extends the overclocking frequency
range simultaneously.
Configuration options: [Auto] [100%] [110%] [120%] [130%] [140%]
Configure higher values when overclocking or under a high CPU loading for extra power
support.
CPU VRM Switching Frequency [Auto]
This item affects the VRM transient response speed and the component thermal
production. Select [Manual] to configure a higher frequency for a quicker transient
response speed.
Configuration 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].
Do not remove the thermal module when the manual mode is selected. The thermal
conditions should be monitored.

Fixed CPU VRM Switching Frequency (KHz) [500]
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 with an interval of 50 KHz.
