TurboV Processing Unit (TPU)
TPU allows you to manually adjust the CPU frequency, CPU cache, core frequencies, DRAM
frequency, and related voltages for an enhanced system stability and a performance boost.
Refer to the CPU documentation before adjusting CPU voltage settings. Setting a high
voltage may damage the CPU permanently and setting a low voltage may lead to an
unstable system.
For system stability, the TPU settings are not saved in the BIOS and are not loaded during
system bootup. Save your overclocking settings as a TPU prole and manually load this
prole after system bootup.

• When you enable the Congured Max CPU Power to boost the energy saving
condition, the CPU frequency is displayed at 800 MHz in the Windows® OS
information of your computer. However, the actual CPU frequency varies depending
on the wattage that you manually set. You can adjust the CPU wattage from the lowest
point to your preferred value.
• Congured Max CPU Power may decrease the total power delivery to the CPU and
affects the CPU performance under a heavy system. To restore your system to its
default settings, reboot your computer.

CPU Load-line Calibration
It allows you to adjust the voltage range to control the CPU Load-line. Adjust to a
high value for system performance or to a low value for power efciency.
CPU Current Capability
CPU Current Capability provides a wider total power range for overclocking.
A higher value brings a wider total power range and extends the overclocking
frequence range simultaneously.
CPU Power Phase Control
Increase the phase number under a heavy system load to get more transient and
better thermal performance. Reduce the phase number under a light system load
to increase the VRM efciency.
* The system automatically sets the default to [Extreme] when using the Intel® iGPU.
CPU Power Thermal Control
A higher temperature brings a wider CPU power thermal range and extends the
overclocking tolerance to enlarge the overclocking potential.

CPU Voltage Frequency
CPU Voltage Frequency affects the VRM transient response and thermal
conditions. Higher VRM frequency gets a quicker transient response.
Active Frequency Mode
Active Frequency Mode allows you to enhance the power saving condition of the
CPU. Tick ON to get a quicker transient response while saving the CPU power.
CPU Power Duty Control
CPU Power Duty Control adjusts the current of every VRM phase and the thermal
conditions of every phase component.
