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
CPU Internal Power Switching Frequency
Frequency Tuning Mode [Auto]
This item allows you to increase or decrease the switching frequency of the internal
regulator. Decrease the switching frequency to reduce the power consumption or
increase the switching frequency to enhance voltage stability. When this item is set to
[+] or [-], the Frequency Tuning Offset appears that allows you to set its value from 0%
to 6%.
3-24
Fixed DRAM Switching Frequency (KHz) [300]
This item allows you to set a higher frequency for an increased
overclocking range or a lower frequency for an enhanced system stability.
Use the <+> or <-> to adjust the value. The values range from 300 KHz to
500 KHz with an interval of 50 KHz.
Allows you to set the Auto mode.
Allows you to set the ASUS optimized phase tuning profile.
Allows you to set the full phase mode.
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 t0 4096 W.
Package Power Time Window [Auto]
Also known as Power Limit 1, this item allows you to maintain the time
window for Turbo Ratio over TDP (Thermal Design Power). Use the <+> or
<-> keys to adjust the value. The values range from 1 to 127 in seconds.
Short Duration Package Power Limit [Auto]
Also known as Power Limit 2, this item allows you to provide rapid
protection when the package power exceeds the Power Limit 1. Use the
<+> or <-> keys to adjust the value. The values range from 1 W t0 4096 W.
CPU Integrated VR Current Limit [Auto]
Allows you to set a higher current limit to prevent frequency and power
throttling when overclocking. Use the <+> or <-> keys to adjust the value.
The values range from 0.125 to 1023.875 with a 0.125 interval.
