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 [Extreme] or [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].
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]
CPU Graphics Load-Line Calibration [Auto]
Load-line is defined by Intel VRM specification and affects the GT power voltage. The GT
working voltage will decrease proportionally depending on the GT loading. Higher levels of
the load-line calibration can get a higher voltage and a better overclocking performance but
increases the GT and VRM thermal. Select from level 1 to 7 to adjust the GT power voltage
from 0% to 100%. Configuration options: [Auto] [Level 1] [Level 2] [Level 3] [Level 4] [Level 5]
[Level 6] [Level 7]
The boosted performance may vary depending on the GT specification. Do not remove the
thermal module.
CPU Graphics Current Capability [Auto]
Allows you to configure the total power range, and extends the overclocking frequency range
simultaneously. Configuration options: [Auto] [100%] [110%] [120%] [130%] [140%]
Choose a higher value when overclocking, or under a high GT loading for extra power
support.
CPU Graphics Switching Frequency [Auto]
This item affects the GT 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 GT VRM Switching Frequency to
[Manual].
Fixed CPU Graphics Switching Frequency (KHz) [250]
This item allows you to set a higher frequency for a quicker transient response speed.
Use the <+> and <-> keys to adjust the value. The values range from 250KHz to
500KHz with a 50KHz interval.
