Vcore MOS volt. Control [Auto]
Use the <+> and <-> keys to adjust the value.
Configuration options: [Auto] [6V] [6.5V] [7V] [7.5V] [8V] [8.5V] [9V] [9.5V]
[10V] [10.5V]
Load-Line Calibration [Auto]
Load-line is defined by Intel VRM spec and affects CPU voltage. The CPU
working voltage will decrease proportionally to CPU loading. Higher load-line
calibration would get higher voltage and better overclocking performance,
but increase the CPU and VRM thermal. From the Regular to Extreme mode
allows you to adjust the voltage range from 0% to 100% to boost the system
performance.
Configuration options: [Auto] [0%] [25% (Suitable for 3.6G-4.2G)] [High]
[50% (Suitable for 4.2G-4.8G)] [75% (Suitable for 4.8G-5.2G)]
[100% (Suitable for 5.2G-6.0G)]
The actual performance boost may vary depending on your CPU specification.
VCore Switching Freq [Auto]
Switching frequency will affect the VRM transient response and component
thermal. Setting a higher frequency gets faster transient response.
[Auto] Allows you to enable or disable the Spread Spectrum item.
[Manual] Allows you to manually set the frequency with a 10KHz interval.
VRM Fixed Frequency Mode [xxx]
This item appears only when you set the VCore Switching Freq item to
[Manual] and allows you to set a fixed VRM frequency. Use the <+> and <->
keys to adjust the value. The values range from 250KHz to 1100KHz with a
50KHz interval.
Phase Control [Optimized]
Phase number is the number of working VRM phase. Increasing phase
number under heavy system loading to get more transient and better thermal
performance. Reducing phase number under light system loading to increase
VRM efficiency
[Standard]
[Optimized]
[Extreme]
[Manual Adjustment]
When this item is set to [Extreme], the CPU Voltage is set to [Manual] and the
voltage is set to [1.2V] automatically.
