Features:

Complete AI Solution
ASUS AI Solutions – including AI Overclocking, AI Cooling II for thermal control and AI Networking II for real-time bandwidth optimization – offer smart overclocking, efficient cooling and new levels of ultrafast connectivity.

AI Overclocking
Maximized CPU performance, and predictions for ideal CPU and cooling settings, pushing your system to its limits.

AI Cooling II
Optimized thermals, and reduced noise via dynamic adjustment of fan speeds, based on CPU temperatures.

AI Networking II
Optimized network performance, helping to ensure seamless connectivity and maximized WiFi 7 speeds.

DYNAMIC OC SWITCHER
Dynamic OC Switcher maximizes CPU performance by letting you set current and temperature thresholds to automatically switch between a manual overlock for heavy multithreaded workloads and Precision Boost Overdrive for single-threaded tasks. The latest Overclocking Load Guard has an enhanced instantaneous current protection mechanism to prevent users from experiencing system crashes during overclocking.

AMD Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO)
This pushes the CPU current and voltage budget to opportunistically increase performance. By aggressively tuning the PBO parameters, this AMD algorithm can leverage the motherboard’s robust power solution to ramp up performance even higher.

CORE FLEX
Core Flex empowers you to smash limits farther than ever before by letting you control power and thermals in creative new ways. In its simplest form, you can set breakpoints to gradually reduce CPU core frequency as temperature or current increases. But the system is extremely adaptable, supporting multiple user-controlled functions that can manipulate power, current and temperature limits independently so that you can bend CPU performance to your will.

AMD Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO)
This pushes the CPU current and voltage budget to opportunistically increase performance. By aggressively tuning the PBO parameters, this AMD algorithm can leverage the motherboard’s robust power solution to ramp up performance even higher.

EXAMPLE: EDC
By managing the Electrical Design Current (EDC) in tandem with the total current, this CPU can gain extra performance for short, demanding bursts. During lightly threaded workloads, below 35 amps, the Level 1 EDC is set to a low value, in this case 60A. As more cores are needed, the EDC is set to 120A, which was found by this user to be a sweet spot for performance. Once the CPU passes 70A, it is in multi-threaded territory, where it was found that a high EDC of 250 gave optimal performance.

EXAMPLE: PPT
In order to let the CPU cool off if its temperatures go too high, this user constrains the Package Power Target (PPT) when thermals increase. Specifically the short-term value (“Fast”) is used. Until the CPU reaches 70°, it can run at full performance, so 350 watts is set to give plenty of overhead. At that point, the power limit reduces to 220W, to let the CPU start reducing heat. If it is still under sustained load and keeps getting hotter, then a more stringent 165W PPT is set at 85°.

UEFI BIOS
