CPU Configuration
CPU Ratio
The CPU speed is determined by the CPU Ratio multiplied with the BCLK.
Increasing the CPU Ratio will increase the internal CPU clock speed without
affecting the clock speed of other components.
Intel SpeedStep Technology
Intel SpeedStep technology allows processors to switch between multiple frequen
-
cies and voltage points for better power saving and heat dissipation.
Intel Turbo Boost Technology
Intel Turbo Boost Technology enables the processor to run above its base operating
frequency when the operating system requests the highest performance state.
Filter PLL Frequency
CPU BCLK Filter Frequency. Choose 1.6 for better overclocking capabilities.
Long Duration Power Limit
Configure Package Power Limit 1 in watts. When the limit is exceeded, the CPU
ratio will be lowered after a period of time. A lower limit can protect the CPU and
save power, while a higher limit may improve performance.
Long Duration Maintained
Configure the period of time until the CPU ratio is lowered when the Long
Duration Power Limit is exceeded.
Short Duration Power Limit
Configure Package Power Limit 2 in watts. When the limit is exceeded, the CPU
ratio will be lowered immediately. A lower limit can protect the CPU and save
power, while a higher limit may improve performance.
Primary Plane Current Limit
Configure the current limit of the CPU under Turbo Mode in ampere. A lower
limit can protect the CPU and save power, while a higher limit may improve
performance.
GT Frequency
Configure the frequency of the integrated GPU.
GT Voltage Mode
Auto: For optimized settings.
Adaptive: Add voltage to the integrated GPU when the system is under heavy load.
Override: The voltage is fixed.
GT Adaptive Voltage
Configure the fixed voltage added to the integrated GPU.
GT Voltage Offset
Configure the voltage added to the integrated GPU when the system is under heavy
load.
DRAM Timing Configuration
Load XMP Setting
Load XMP settings to overclock the DDR3 memory and perform beyond standard
specifications.
DRAM Reference Clock
Select Auto for optimized settings.
DRAM Frequency
If [Auto] is selected, the motherboard will detect the memory module(s) inserted
and assign the appropriate frequency automatically.
DRAM Configuration
DRAM Tweaker
Fine tune the DRAM settings by leaving marks in checkboxes. Click OK to confirm
and apply your new settings.
CAS# Latency (tCL)
The time between sending a column address to the memory and the beginning of the data
in response.
RAS# to CAS# Delay (tRCD)
The number of clock cycles required between the opening of a row of memory and
accessing columns within it.
Row Precharge Time (tRP)The number of clock cycles required between the issuing of the precharge command
and opening the next row.
RAS# Active Time (tRAS)
The number of clock cycles required between a bank active command and issuing the
precharge command.
Command Rate (CR)
The delay between when a memory chip is selected and when the first active command can
be issued.

FIVR Configuration
FIVR Switch Frequency Signature
Select whether to boost or lower the FIVR Switch Frequency.
FIVR Switch Frequency Offset
Configure the percentage of frequency boost or deduction.
CPU Voltage Mode
Auto: For optimized settings.
Adaptive: Add voltage to the CPU when the system is under heavy load.
Override: The voltage is fixed.
CPU Override Voltage
Configure the voltage added to the CPU when the system is under heavy load.
CPU Voltage Offset
Configure the dynamic CPU voltage added to the CPU.
CPU Cache Override Voltage
Add voltage to the CPU Cache when the system is under heavy load.
CPU Cache Voltage Offset
Configure the voltage for the CPU Cache. Setting the voltage higher may increase
system stability when overclocking.
System Agent Voltage Offset
Configure the voltage for the System Agent. Setting the voltage higher may increase
system stability when overclocking.
CPU Analog IO Voltage Offset
CPU I/O Analog Voltage.
CPU Digital IO Voltage Offset
CPU I/O Digital Voltage.
CPU Integrated VR Faults
Disable FIVR Faults to raise the threshold to trigger CPU over current protection
and over voltage protection for better overclocking capabilities.
CPU Integrated VR Efficiency Mode
Enable FIVR Efficiency Management for power saving. Disable for better
performance and overclocking capabilities.
Voltage Configuration
CPU Input Voltage
Configure the voltage for the CPU.
CPU Load-Line Calibration
CPU Load-Line Calibration helps prevent CPU voltage droop when the system is
under heavy load.
DRAM Voltage
Use this to configure DRAM Voltage. The default value is [Auto].
PCH 1.05V Voltage
Chipset 1.05V Voltage. Use default settings for best performance.
