Dram Timing Control - Asus Z170-P D3 User Manual

2.5.10

DRAM Timing Control

The subitems in this menu allow you to set the DRAM timing control features. Use the
<+> and <-> keys to adjust the value. To restore the default setting, type [auto] using the
keyboard and press the <Enter> key.
Changing the values in this menu may cause the system to become unstable! If this
happens, revert to the default settings.
2.5.11 DIGI+ VRM
CPU Load-Line Calibration [Auto]
Load-line is defined by Intel VRM specification and affects the CPU power voltage. The CPU
working voltage will decrease proportionally depending on the CPU loading. Higher levels of
the load-line calibration can get a higher voltage and a better overclocking performance but
increases the CPU and VRM thermal. Configuration options: [Auto] [Level 1-7]
The boosted performance may vary depending on the CPU specification. Do not remove
the thermal module.
CPU VRM Switching Frequency [Auto]
This item affects the VRM 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 CPU VRM Switching Frequency to
[Manual].
Fixed CPU VRM 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.
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].
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]
