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.
• 
The actual performance boost may vary depending on your CPU specification.
• 
Do not remove the thermal module. The thermal conditions should be monitored.
Refer to the software manual in the support DVD or visit the ASUS website at  
www.asus.com for detailed software configuration.
Items 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
iGPU Load-line Calibration 
Load-line is defined by Intel VRM specifications, and affects the iGPU voltage. The iGPU 
working voltage will decrease proportionally to integrated graphics loading. A higher value can 
get a higher iGPU voltage, and a good performance, but increases the CPU and VRM thermal 
conditions.
5
iGPU Current Capability 
A higher value brings a wider total iGPU power range and extends the overclocking frequency 
range simultaneously to enhance the iGPU performance. 
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 efficiency.
7
CPU Power Duty Control 
CPU Power Duty Control adjusts the current of every VRM phase and the thermal of every 
phase component.
