Asus z170 pro gaming [63/100] Internal cpu power management

CPU Power Phase Control [Auto]

This item allows you to set the power phase control of the CPU. Conguration options: [Auto]

[Standard] [Optimized] [Extreme]

CPU Graphics Load-Line Calibration [Auto]

Load‑line is dened by Intel VRM specication and affects the GT power voltage. The GT

working voltage will decrease proportionally depending on the GT loading. Higher levels of

the load‑line calibration can get a higher voltage and a better overclocking performance but

increases the GT and VRM thermal. Select from level 1 to 7 to adjust the GT power voltage

from 0% to 100%. Conguration options: [Auto] [Level 1] [Level 2] [Level 3] [Level 4] [Level 5]

[Level 6] [Level 7]

The boosted performance may vary depending on the GT specication. Do not remove the

thermal module.

CPU Graphics Current Capability [Auto]

Allows you to congure the total power range, and extends the overclocking frequency range

simultaneously. Conguration options: [Auto] [100%] [110%] [120%] [130%] [140%]

Choose a higher value when overclocking, or under a high GT loading for extra power

support.

CPU Graphics Switching Frequency [Auto]

This item affects the GT transient response speed and the component thermal production.

Select [Manual] to congure a higher frequency for a quicker transient response speed.

Conguration options: [Auto] [Manual]

DO NOT remove the thermal module. The thermal conditions should be monitored.

The following item appears only when you set the GT VRM Switching Frequency to

[Manual].

Fixed VCCGT Switching Frequency (KHz) [300]

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.

GT Power Phase Control [Auto]

This item allows you to set the power phase control of GT. Conguration options: [Auto]

[Standard] [Optimized] [Extreme]

2.5.12 Internal CPU Power Management

The subitems in this menu allow you to set the CPU ratio and their features.

Intel

SpeedStep

[Enabled]

This item allows the operating system to dynamically adjust the processor voltage and cores

frequency, resulting to a decreased average power consumption and decreased average

heat production. Conguration options: [Disabled] [Enabled]
