Asus h170m-e d3 [56/83] Internal cpu power management

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 CPU Graphics Switching Frequency (KHz) [250]

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.

CPU Graphics Power Duty Control [T.Probe]

The GT power duty control adjusts the current and thermal conditions of every component’s

phase.

[T. Probe] Select to maintain the VRM thermal balance.

[Extreme] Select to maintain the current VRM balance.

CPU Graphics Power Phase Control [Auto]

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

[Standard] [Optimized] [Extreme] [Power Phase Response]

DO NOT remove the thermal module when setting this item to [Extreme] or [Power Phase

Response]. The thermal conditions should be monitored.

The following item appears only when you set the CPU Power Phase Control to [Power

Phase Response].

Power Phase Response [Fast]

This item allows you to set a faster phase response for the CPU to increase system

performance or to slower phase response to decrease DRAM power efciency.

Conguration options: [Ultra Fast] [Fast] [Medium] [Regular]

2.5.10 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]

Turbo Mode [Enabled]

This item allows you to enable your core processor’s speed to run faster than the base

operating frequency when it is below operating power, current and temperature specication

limit. Conguration options: [Disabled] [Enabled]
