Dual Intelligent Processors 3 With New Digi+ Power Control - Asus M5A99FX PRO R2.0 Manual

1.1.2 Dual Intelligent Processors 3 with New DIGI+ Power
Control
The world's first Dual Intelligent Processors from ASUS pioneered twin onboard chips
- TPU (TurboV Processing Unit) and EPU (Energy Processing Unit). Third generation Dual
Intelligent Processors with New DIGI+ Power Control provides a total CPU, memory and
SMART DIGI+ Key profile tuning digital power solution, which includes two digital voltage
controllers allowing ultra-precise DRAM tuning in addition to ultra-precise CPU voltage
control - a first on the AMD platform. It's upgraded with one-click extreme performance
optimization with the user-friendly AI Suite II utility. This evolution of innovative and industry-
leading ASUS technology provides super-accurate voltage tuning for better efficiency, stability
and performance.
New DIGI+ Power Control
All-New Digital Power Control for both CPU and DRAM
The New DIGI+ Power Control design with two digital voltage controllers upgrades
motherboard power delivery to an overall solution on AMD AM3+ motherboards, including
all-new DRAM controllers that offers ultra-precise memory tuning in addition to ultra-precise
CPU voltage control. This evolution of innovative, industry-leading ASUS technology provides
the best in class control for better efficiency, stability and performance.
TPU with the All-New SMART DIGI+ Key for a Blazing Performance Boost
Always at the forefront of power design, ASUS propels you into the future standard of
power management again by giving you a complete CPU, memory and new SMART DIGI+
Technology with profile tuning digital power solution, which works with the TPU to ramp up
performance to its maximum. Enable the all-new SMART DIGI+ Key profile with a single click
and adjust CPU ratios manually in the TPU to increase CPU frequency up to an incredible
100%!
Increased CPU and DRAM overclocking range
With programmable digital controllers onboard, users can adjust CPU and DRAM voltage
and VRM switching frequencies for various overclocking scenarios. New DRAM tuning
possibilities make the most of DDR3 memory for better performance with CPU/NB load line
calibration and 30% more DRAM current capacity. Thanks to a slew of power options teamed
with an extensive and intuitive UEFI BIOS, overclocking very large memory setups is no more
difficult than mainstream motherboards.
TPU
TPU (TurboV Processing Unit) offers precise voltage control and advanced monitoring
mechanisms through the Auto Tuning and TurboV functions.
EPU
EPU (Energy Processing Unit), the world's first real-time system power-saving chip,
automatically detects the current system load and intelligently moderates power usage.
It offers a total system-wide energy optimization, reduces fan noise, and extends the
component's lifespan.
