[. . . ] For Sandy Bridge, Turbo Ratio can be kept a time duration exceed TDP for maximum performance. Use the <+> and <-> keys to adjust the value. Long duration maintained [Auto] Short duration power limit [Auto] This is the second power limit to provide rapid protection when package power exceeds Power Limit 1. Default setting is 1. 25 times Power Limit 1. For Intel recommend, platform must be capable of supporting over Power Limit 2 for up to 10 msec. ASUS board can support over Power Limit 2 for a long duration. Use the <+> and <-> keys to adjust the value. Primary Plane Current Limit [Auto] Maximum instantaneous current allowed at any given time for CPU cores. The value is represented in 1/8 A (0. 125A) increment. Use the <+> and <-> keys to adjust the value. Secondary Plane Current Limit [Auto] Maximum instantaneous current allowed at any given time for internal graphics cores. The value is represented in 1/8 A (0. 125A) increment. Use the <+> and <-> keys to adjust the value. ASUS P8B75-V 3-9 Chapter 3 This value can vary from 1 to 32, which indicates the time window for Turbo Ratio over TDP should be maintained. Use the <+> and <-> keys to adjust the value. DIGI+ VRM CPU Load-Line Calibration [Auto] Load-line is defined by Intel VRM specifications, and affects CPU voltage. The CPU working voltage will decrease proportionally to CPU loading. Higher value gets a higher voltage, and a better overclocking performance, but increases the CPU and VRM thermal conditions. This item allows you to adjust the voltage range from the following percentages to boost the system performance: 0% (Regular), 25% (Medium), 50% (High), 75% (Ultra High) and 100% (Extreme). Configuration options: [Auto] [Regular] [Medium] [High] [Ultra High] [Extreme] The actual performance boost may vary depending on your CPU specification. CPU Fixed Frequency [xxx] This item appears only when you set the CPU Voltage Frequency item to [Manual] and allows you to set a fixed CPU frequency. Use the <+> and <-> keys to adjust the value. The values range from 200k Hz to 350k Hz with a 50k Hz interval. CPU Power Phase Control [Standard] Allows you to control the power phase based on the CPU’s demands. Configuration options: [Standard] [Optimized] [Extreme] [Manual Adjustment] DO NOT remove the thermal module when switching to Extreme and Manual Mode. The thermal conditions should be monitored. CPU Power Duty Control [T. Probe] DIGI + VRM Duty control adjusts the current and thermal conditions of every component’s phase. Chapter 3 3-10 [T. Probe] [Extreme] Select to maintain the VRM thermal balance. Select to maintain the current VRM balance. CPU Current Capability [100%] Allows you to configure the total power range, and extends the overclocking frequency range simultaneously. Configuration options: [100%] [110%] [120%] Choose a higher value when overclocking, or under a high CPU loading for extra power support. iGPU Load-line Calibration [Auto] Allows you to set the iGPU Load-line Calibration.
