specification limit.
Configuration options: [Disabled] [Enabled]
The following items appear only when you set the Turbo Mode to [Enabled].
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%.
CPU Internal Power Fault Control
Thermal Feedback [Auto]
Allows your system to take precautionary actions to protect the CPU when the thermal
condition of the external regulator exceeds the threshold.
