You can to fine-tune these values to achieve optimal system stability, performance and efficiency when matched with other areas of overclocking or ASUS' own tuning facilities. The DIGI+ Power Control section of ASUS AI Suite allows for VRM and DRAM voltage control. When using said tools to increase performance, be sure to take extra steps in monitoring thermal values and overall system stability. Voltage values will need to be adjusted accordingly to ensure for a stable operation with overclocked components. It's generally not advised to alter this value from default. CPU Cache Ratio: The speed as to which the CPU cache runs at.For example, a BCLK Frequency of 100MHz and a ratio of 38 will result in a CPU clocked at 3800MHz (or 3.8GHz).

Ratio: The ratio of a CPU is the multiplier for the BCLK Frequency.Manipulating this will increase the total clock speed with regards to ratio configuration. BCLK Frequency: This is a measurement of the 'base clock' for the CPU.Before playing around with frequencies and values here, you'll need to make sure that the CPU Ratio setting in the BIOS is set to 'Auto'. The ASUS TurboV Processing Unit (TPU) allows you to monitor just what speed the CPU is running at, and unlocks manual control for manipulating core grouping, DRAM voltages, and more. As well as the notice above, you'll need to ensure you have Windows administrative access to ensure the suite is able to run without a hitch. Still, it's a neat tool for those who are new to overclocking. I utilize the power of the BIOS for tweaking everything related to CPU, RAM, and other values, while relying on AI Suite for keeping components cooled and everything running silent. That said, the AI Suite is still a handy solution for fan management, and I actually use it for that very reason. Software like AI Suite should only really be used as a backup if you're not confident in altering BIOS settings yourself, or do not wish to reboot the PC multiple times to achieve the perfect balance in performance and stability. Before we get started with AI Suite, we should point out that if you're serious about getting more from your PC for gaming and other demanding tasks, we highly recommend you spend a little time in reading through the various BIOS settings at hand.
