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 profile and manually load this profile after system bootup.

•When you enable the Configured 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.
•Configured 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 efficiency.
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 efficiency.
* 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.

DRAM Voltage Frequency
Allows you to adjust the DRAM switching frequency to stabilize the system or to increase the overclocking range.

Select Extreme for full phase mode to increase system performance or select
Optimized forASUS optimized phase tuning profile to increase the DRAM power efficiency.
• The actual performance boost may vary depending on your CPU specification.
• Ensure that the cooling modules are properly installed in your motherboard to monitor the thermal conditions.
