Dual Intelligent Processors 5

ASUS Dual Intelligent Processors 5 combines TPU, EPU, DIGI+ Power Control, Fan Xpert 3, and Turbo App functions to push the system’s performance to its optimal potential. It automatically balances the system’s performance, power saving, levels, and fan settings via the user-friendly AI Suite 3 utility.

5-Way Optimization

The 5-Way Optimization function dynamically optimizes your PC based on real-time usage
to provide the best system status. It covers the essential areas such as CPU performance, energy saving, stable digital power, cool and quiet fan control, and includes tailored settings for your apps to ensure your PC is ready for gaming, entertainment, productivity, or just about anything.
5-Way Optimization screen
Click or tap this 5-Way Optimization button to auto-detect and tune the best settings for your system
DO NOT remove your fan during the tuning process.

TPU (Turbo Processing Unit)

TPU allows you to manually adjust the CPU frequency, core ratio, DRAM frequency, and related voltages for enhanced system stability and 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 prole and manually load this prole after system bootup.

When you enable Congured Max CPU Power for advanced energy saving condition, the CPU frequency may display 800 MHz in the Windows® OS information
of your computer. However, the true CPU frequency varies depending on the wattage that you manually set. You can adjust the CPU wattage from the lowest base on your preferred default value.
Congured Max CPU Power may decrease the total power delivery to the CPU and
affects the CPU performance under system heavy load. To restore your system to its default settings, reboot your computer.

to increase the VRM efciency.
CPU VRM Switching Frequency
Enables spread spectrum to enhance system stability.
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 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 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 efciezncy.
CPU Power Duty Control
CPU Power Duty Control adjusts the current of every VRM phase and the thermal conditions of every phase component.
