DRAM Current Capability [100%]

This item provides a total power range for DRAM overclocking. A higher value setting

provides higher power consumption delivery and extends the overclocking frequency

range simultaneously.

Conguration options: [100%] [110%] [120%] [130%]

Congure higher values when overclocking or under a high CPU loading for extra power

support.

DRAM Power Phase Control [Extreme]

This item allows you to set the power phase control of the DRAM.

Conguration options: [Optimized] [Extreme]

DRAM Switching Frequency [Auto]

This item affects the VRM 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 DRAM Switching Frequency to

[Manual].

Fixed DRAM Switching Frequency (KHz) [300]

This item allows you to set a higher frequency for a quicker transient

response speed. Use the <+> or <-> to adjust the value. The values range

from 300 KHz to 500 KHz with an interval of 50 KHz.

DO NOT remove the thermal module when the manual mode is selected. The thermal

conditions should be monitored.

Boot Voltages

DMI Boot Voltage [Auto]

The voltage for DMI at initial boot.

Conguration options: [Auto] [0.300] - [1.900]

Core PLL Boot Voltage [Auto]

The voltage for Core PLL at initial boot.

Conguration options: [Auto] [0.70000] - [2.40000]
