Brand new Digital PWM controller from International Rectifier

-Supports Dual VR12.5/VR12.0 Modes (a requirement for future 22nm CPUs). -Auto Voltage Compensation to deliver an always steady flow of power to the CPU and Memory

Digital Power control for Memory for real-time adjustment

-Set OVP (Over Voltage Protection) to safeguard your memory. -Memory Load-line Calibration to fix memory vdroop for a quicker response time. -Adjust memory PWM frequency on-the-fly.

GIGABYTE Turbo Voltage Response

Turbo Voltage Response allows the CPU and Memory voltage to reach their target voltages quicker, helping to improve overclocking performance and provide better power savings

Maintain Optimal Voltage

By adjusting load line calibration, Vdroop can be avoided, maintaining optimal voltages levels despite increasing current levels

Real-time PWM Frequency Switching

3D Power frequency control allows users to change the PWM controller frequency so that the CPU VRM can adjust power delivery speeds more quickly

3D Power Utility

More Control than Ever Before

Voltage Control

Voltage parameters can be modified within 3D Power, including load line calibration the of CPU. OVP (Over Voltage Protection) can also be adjusted to change default protection range of the CPU, memory controller, VTT and system memory.

More Control than Ever Before

Phase Control

Users can calibrate OCP (Over Current Protection) for the CPU, integrated memory controller and system memory power levels. This allows the Phase control to deliver even more power to the system when needed.

More Control than Ever Before

Frequency Control

GIGABYTEs all-digital PWM allows for adjustable frequency control of CPU, VTT, Integrated Memory Controller and both A/B and C/D Memory arrays.
