| CPU Load Line Calibration |
Various steps of the CPU Load-Line Calibration (Regular /
Medium / High / Ultra / High / Extreme) or Auto, to let the ASUS Tuning
Expert Team choose it for you. (Auto is only available under BIOS)
Careful adjustment of such option can help to prevent Vdrop of the CPU
Vcore, when the CPU is under load. Vdrop itself describes the phenomenon
that Vcore drops under load. |
| |
|
| CPU Current Capability |
Overrides the CPU Vcore over current
proctection level to up to 100 % above the original via the CPU Current
Capability option, in order to prevent the system from throttling down
when the CPU has been overloaded. |
| |
|
| CPU Voltage Frequency |
Controls the Vcore Switching Frequency for the delivery of more
stable power to the CPU via the adjustment of CPU Voltage Frequency
option. Alternatively, users can also enable the CPU Spread Spectrum
option for a lower instantaneous emission of EMI for better system
stability. Generally speaking, if CPU Voltage Frequency is not going to
be set to "Manual" while with CPU Fixed Frequency set to a higher value,
then it is always advised to enable CPU Vcore Spread Spectrum for better
stability. CPU Vcore Spread Spectrum is only available when CPU Power
Phase Control has not been set Extreme. |
| |
|
| VRM Over Temperature Protection |
Disables the overheat protection of the Extreme Engine DIGI+2
power solution via the VRM Over Temperature Protection. Doing so will
prevent the CPU from throttling when the Extreme DIGI+ 2 power circuit
overheats to ensure better overall performance with the risk of damaging
the power solution in the long run. |
| |
|
| CPU Power Duty Control |
The availability of CPU
Power Duty Control, allowing the CPU VRM to balance the loads applied
onto each power phase to correspond to either the temperature or the
current draw of each power phase. |
| |
|
| Vcore MOS volt. Control |
The Vcore MOS volt. Control option
allows the users to control the voltage supplied to the MOSFETs in the
CPU power circuitry. Useres can lower it to reduce some power
consumption, or raising it for the more efficient delivery of power.
|
| |
|
| CPU Power Phase Control |
Controls
the CPU Power Phase Control to decide if the CPU VRM should reduce the
number of active phases (Standard / Optimized / Extreme / Manual Adjust)
to allow better power efficiency when the system idles down. Once set to
Manual Adjust mode, user can also define how fast the PWM phase should
vary with respect to the loading applied on it (Ultra Fast / Fast /
Medium / Regular). |
| |
|
| CPU Spread Spectrum |
CPU
Spread Spectrum option for a lower instantaneous emission of EMI for
better system stability. Generally speaking, if CPU Voltage Frequency is
not going to be set to "Manual" while with CPU Fixed Frequency set to a
higher value, then it is always advised to enable CPU Vcore Spread
Spectrum for better stability. CPU Vcore Spread Spectrum is only
available when CPU Power Phase Control has not been set Extreme. |
| |
|
| CPU VCORE Boot Up Voltage |
Overrides the
default CPU Vcore before the user input CPU Vcore value was set during
the POST sequence via the CPU VCORE Boot Up Voltage. Careful adjustment
of this option may bring better OC margin for the CPU. |
| |
|
| VCCSA Load-Line Calibration |
Various setps of the VCCSA Load-Line Calibration (Regular /
High / Extreme) or Auto, to let the ASUS Tuning Expert Team choose it
for you. (Auto is only available under BIOS) Careful adjustment of such
option can help to prevent Vdrop of the VCCSA, which is the power going
into the memory controller, when it is under load. |
| |
|
| VCCSA Current Capability |
Overrides the VCCSA over current protection level
to up to 40 % above the original via the VCCSA Current Capability
option, in order to prevent the system from throttling down when the CPU
integrated memory controller has been overloaded. |
| |
|
| VCCSA Fixed Frequency |
Overrides the switching frequency of the
VCCSA power supply via the control of the VCCSA Switching Frequency
option. Setting to a higher value may help to stabilize the power
delivery to the VCCSA for a higher CPU OC margin. |
| |
|
| CPU VCCSA Boot Up Voltage |
Overrides the default VCCSA before the user
input VCCSA value was set during the POST sequence via the VCCSA Boot Up
Voltage. Careful adjustment of this option may bring better OC margin
for the CPU. |
