ROG ASUS AI Suite II
AI Suite II
AI Suite II is an all-in-one interface that integrates several ASUS utilities and allows users to launch and operate these utilities simultaneously.
Installing AI Suite II
To install AI Suite II on your computer
1. Place the support DVD to the optical drive. The Drivers installation tab appears if your computer has enabled the Autorun feature.
2. Click on the Utilities tab, then click
AI Suite II.
3. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete installation.
Shortcut to the Auto Tuning Mode under TurboV EVO
Click to select a utility
Click to monitor sensors or CPU frequency
Click to update the motherboard BIOS
Click to show the system information
Click to customize the interface settings
Using AI Suite II
AI Suite II automatically starts when you enter the Windows
®
operating system (OS). The AI Suite II icon appears in the Windows® notication area. Click on the icon to open the AI Suite II main menu bar.
Click on each button to select and launch a utility, to monitor the system, to update the motherboard BIOS, to display the system information, and to customize the settings of AI Suite II.
The CPU Level Up button appears only on models with the TurboV EVO function.
The applications in the Tool menu vary with models.
The screeshots of AI Suite II in this user manual are for reference only. The actual screenshots vary with models.
Refer to the software manual in the support DVD or visit the ASUS website
at www.asus.com for detailed software conguration.

TurboV EVO
ASUS TurboV EVO introduces TurboV that allows you to manually adjust the CPU frequency and related voltages as well as CPU Level Up function that offers automatic and easy overclocking and system level up. After installing AI Suite II from the motherboard support DVD, launch TurboV EVO by clicking Tool > TurboV EVO on the AI Suite II main menu bar.
Refer to the software manual in the support DVD or visit the ASUS website at
www.asus.com for detailed software conguration.
TurboV
TurboV allows you to overclock the BCLK frequency, CPU voltage, IMC voltage, and DRAM Bus voltage in Windows® environment and takes effect in real-time without exiting and rebooting the OS.
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 make the system unstable.
For system stability, all changes made in TurboV will not be saved to BIOS settings and will not be kept on the next system boot. Use the Save Prole function to save your
customized overclocking settings and manually load the prole after Windows starts.

Set the CPU Ratio Setting item in BIOS to [Auto] before using the CPU Ratio function
in TurboV. Refer to Chapter 3 of your motherboard user manual for details.
The CPU Ratio bars show the status of the CPU cores, which vary with your CPU model.

CPU Level Up
ASUS TurboV EVO includes three CPU level up modes, providing the most exible auto-
tuning options.
The overclocking result varies with the CPU model and the system conguration.
To prevent overheating from damaging the motherboard, a better thermal environment is strongly recommended
The CPU Level Up modes depend upon the CPU installed in your system.
Using CPU Level Up
1. Click the CPU Level Up tab, choose the mode, and click Start.
2. Read through the warning messages and click OK to start auto-overclocking.
CPU Strap
Allows you to manually adjust CPU Strap.
1. Click on the
CPU Strap tab.

New DIGI+ Power Control
New DIGI+ PowerControl allows you to adjust VRM voltage and frequency modulation to
enhance reliability and stability. It also provides the highest power efciency, generating less
heat to longer component lifespan and minimize power loss. After installing AI Suite II from the motherboard support DVD, launch DIGI+ Power Control by clicking Tool > DIGI+ Power Control on the AI Suite II main menu bar. Select CPU Power or DRAM Power to adjust the power control settings.
Function no. Function description
1
CPU Load-line Calibration It allows you to adjust the voltage settings and control the system temperature. Higher load-line calibration could get higher voltage and good overclocking performance but increases the CPU and VRM thermal.
2
CPU Current Capability CPU Current Capability provides wider total power range for overclocking. A higher value setting gets higher VRM power consumption delivery.
3
CPU Voltage Frequency Switching frequency will affect the VRM transient response and component thermal. Higher frequency gets quicker transient response.
4
VCCSA Load-line Calibration The behavior of the DRAM Controller is decided by the VCCSA Load­line. Set to a higher value for system performance, or to a lower value for better thermal solution.
5
VCCSA Current Capability A higher value brings wider total DRAM Controller power range and extends the overclocking frequency range simultaneously.
6
CPU Power Phase Control Increase phase number under heavy system loading to get more transient and better thermal performance. Reduce phase number under light
system loading to increase VRM efciency.
7
CPU Power Duty Control CPU Power Duty Control adjusts the current of every VRM phase and the thermal of every phase component.
