DIGI+ VRM
ASUS DIGI+ VRM allows you to adjust VRM voltage and frequency modulation to enhance reliability and stability. It also provides the highest power efficiency, generating less heat to longer component lifespan and minimize power loss.
After installing AI Suite II from the motherboard support DVD, launch DIGI+ VRM by clicking Tool > DIGI+ VRM on the AI Suite II main menu bar.
Function no. Function description
1 DIGI+ VRM Load-line Calibration
Higher load-line calibration could get higher voltage and good overclocking performance but increase the CPU and VRM thermal.
2 DIGI+ VRM CPU Current Capability
DIGI+ VRM CPU Current Capability provides wider total power range for overclocking. A higher value setting gets higher VRM power consumption delivery. 3 DIGI+ VRM Frequency
Switching frequency will affect the VRM transient response and component thermal. Higher frequency gets quicker transient response.
4 DIGI+ VRM 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 efficiency.
5 DIGI+ VRM Duty Control
DIGI+ VRM Duty Control adjusts the current of every VRM phase and the thermal of every phase component.
