CPU Power Phase Control [Auto]
This item allows you to set the power phase control of the CPU. Configuration options:
[Auto] [Standard] [Optimized] [Extreme] [Power Phase Response]
DO NOT remove the thermal module when setting this item to [Power Phase Response].
The thermal conditions should be monitored.
The following item appears only when you set the CPU Power Phase Control to [Power
Phase Response].
CPU Power Duty Control [T.Probe]
DIGI + VRM Duty Control adjusts the current of every VRM phase and the thermal
conditions of every phase component.
[T. Probe]
[Extreme]
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%]
Internal CPU Power Management
The subitems in this menu allow you to set the CPU ratio and their features.
Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology [Enabled]
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. Configuration options: [Disabled] [Enabled]
Turbo Mode [Enabled]
This item allows you to enable your core processor's speed to run faster than the
base operating frequency when it is below operating power, current and temperature
specification limit. Configuration options: [Disabled] [Enabled]
The following items appear only when you set the Turbo Mode to [Enabled].
Turbo Mode Parameters
3-22
Power Phase Response [Fast]
This item allows you to set a faster phase response for the CPU to
increase system performance or to slower phase response to decrease
DRAM power efficiency. Configuration options: [Ultra Fast] [Fast] [Medium]
[Regular]
Select to maintain the VRM thermal balance.
Select to maintain the current VRM balance.
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 4096 W.
