DIGI+ Power Control
CPU Load-Line Calibration [Auto]
Load-line is defined by Intel VRM spec and affects CPU voltage. The CPU working voltage
will decrease proportionally to CPU loading. Higher value gets a higher voltage and better
overclocking performance, but increases the CPU and VRM thermal. This item allows you to
adjust the voltage range from the following percentages to boost the system performance:
0% (Regular), 25% (Medium), 50% (High), 75% (Ultra High) and 100% (Extreme).
Configuration options: [Auto] [Regular] [Medium] [High] [Ultra High] [Extreme]
The actual performance boost may vary depending on your CPU specification.
CPU Voltage Frequency [Auto]
Frequency switching affects the VRM transient response, and the thermal component. Higher
frequency gets quicker transient response.
Configuration options: [Auto] [Manual]
DO NOT remove the thermal module when switching to Manual Mode. The thermal
conditions should be monitored.
VRM Spread Spectrum [Disabled]
This item appears only when you set the Frequency item to [Auto] and allows you to enable
the spread spectrum to enhance system stability.
CPU Power Phase Control [Auto]
Allows you to control the power phase based on the CPU's demands.
Configuration options: [Auto] [Standard] [Optimized] [Extreme] [Manual Adjustment]
DO NOT remove the thermal module when switching to Extreme and Manual Mode. The
thermal conditions should be monitored.
CPU Power Duty Control [T.Probe]
DIGI + VRM Duty control adjusts the current and thermal conditions of every component's
phase.
Configuration options: [T. Probe] - Select to maintain the VRM thermal balance.
[Extreme] - Select to maintain the current VRM balance.
CPU Current Capability [100%]
Allows you to configure the total power range, and extends the overclocking frequency range
simultaneously.
Configuration options: [100%] [110%] [120%] [130%] [140%]
Choose a higher value when overclocking, or under a high CPU loading for extra power
support.
