Voltage Setting
In overvoltage operations, the OC Genie II provides comprehensive items
as in the previous generation for users to adjust. These items include: CPU
Voltage, CPU IO Voltage (VTT), DRAM Voltage and System Agent Voltage.
The CPU Voltage and IO Voltage are the two items related to CPU OC, and
the DRAM Voltage and IO Voltage are the two associated with memory OC.
When increasing voltage to enhance OC capability, it means the system will
produce more heat and consume more energy. Therefore, users should pay
attention to the thermal condition of various devices, and even replace the
heat-sinks on the mainboard. When the CPU consumes more power, this
will activate the protective mechanism built in the CPU to reduce CPU Ratio
when system loading.
The VDroop Control option helps to correct the voltage drop while the CPU
is under high-load operation. The VDroop setting does not affect the over-
clocking capability of the CPU but indeed interferes with other overclocking
settings. As a solution, users may need to adjust the voltage settings after
tuning the VDroop. Given the high cooling efficiency of the cooler/heat sink,
users are suggested to set the VDroop to"Low VDroop"to enhance system
stability during heavy loading.

advanced Memory timing Setting
Users can assign different settings for particular channels of memory. This
has the advantage of individual memory parameter optimization, even using
the different memory specifications. When you set the detailed parameters,
and don't know where to start with values, you can refer to the bottom of
the Current memory values list in the gray font block to set the appropriate
parameters for overclocking and not too far off the mark.
CPU feature
Settings of devices built in the CPU are adjustable from the options in the
CPU Features. With these options, users can set the Execute Disable Bit,
Virtualization Tech, Power Technology and C State. The Long/Short Duration
Power Limit is designed for users to adjust the CPU TDP wattage limit. These
two settings are the key to control of the CPU Ratio when running OC in
heavy loading.
