Using AI Suite II
AI Suite II automatically starts when you enter the Windows® operating system (OS). The AI
Suite II icon appears in the Windows® notication area. Click on the icon to open the AI Suite
II main menu bar.
Click on each button to select and launch a utility, to monitor the system, to update the
motherboard BIOS, to display the system information, and to customize the settings of AI Suite II.
• The CPU Level Up button appears only on models with the TurboV EVO function.
• The applications in the Tool menu vary with models.
• The screeshots of AI Suite II in this user manual are for reference only. The actual
screenshots vary with models.
• Refer to the software manual in the support DVD or visit the ASUS website
at www.asus.com for detailed software conguration.

TurboV EVO
ASUS TurboV EVO introduces TurboV that allows you to manually adjust the CPU frequency
and related voltages as well as CPU Level Up function that offers automatic and easy
overclocking and system level up. After installing AI Suite II from the motherboard support
DVD, launch TurboV EVO by clicking Tool > TurboV EVO on the AI Suite II main menu bar.
Refer to the software manual in the support DVD or visit the ASUS website at
www.asus.com for detailed software conguration.
TurboV
TurboV allows you to overclock the BCLK frequency, CPU voltage, IMC voltage, and DRAM
Bus voltage in Windows®environment and takes effect in real-time without exiting and
rebooting the OS.
Refer to the CPU documentation before adjusting CPU voltage settings. Setting a high
voltage may damage the CPU permanently, and setting a low voltage may make the
system unstable.
For system stability, all changes made in TurboV will not be saved to BIOS settings and
will not be kept on the next system boot. Use the Save Prole function to save your
customized overclocking settings and manually load the prole after Windows starts.

• The CPU Ratio bars show the status of the CPU cores, which vary with your CPU
model.
ROG ASUS AI Suite II 5
CPU Level Up
ASUS TurboV EVO includes three CPU level up modes, providing the most exible auto-
tuning options.
• The overclocking result varies with the CPU model and the system conguration.
• To prevent overheating from damaging the motherboard, a better thermal environment
is strongly recommended
• The CPU Level Up modes depend upon the CPU installed in your system.
Using CPU Level Up
1. Click the CPU Level Up tab,
choose the mode, and click Start.
2. Read through the warning
messages and click OK to start
auto-overclocking.
CPU Strap
Allows you to manually adjust CPU Strap.
1. Click on the CPU Strap tab.

the CPU, saves BIOS settings,
and restarts the system. After
re-entering Windows, a message
appears indicating successful
overclocking. Click OK to exit.

New DIGI+ Power Control
New DIGI+ PowerControl allows you to adjust VRM voltage and frequency modulation to
enhance reliability and stability. It also provides the highest power efciency, generating less
heat to longer component lifespan and minimize power loss.
After installing AI Suite II from the motherboard support DVD, launch DIGI+ Power Control
by clicking Tool > DIGI+ Power Control on the AI Suite II main menu bar.
Select CPU Power or DRAM Power to adjust the power control settings.
Function no. Function description
1CPU 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.
2CPU Current Capability
CPU Current Capability provides wider total power range for overclocking.
A higher value setting gets higher VRM power consumption delivery.
3CPU Voltage Frequency
Switching frequency will affect the VRM transient response and
component thermal. Higher frequency gets quicker transient response.
4VCCSA Load-line Calibration
The behavior of the DRAM Controller is decided by the VCCSA Load-
line. Set to a higher value for system performance, or to a lower value for
better thermal solution.
5VCCSA Current Capability
A higher value brings wider total DRAM Controller power range and
extends the overclocking frequency range simultaneously.
6CPU 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 efciency.
7CPU Power Duty Control
CPU Power Duty Control adjusts the current of every VRM phase and the
thermal of every phase component.

EPU
EPU is an energy-efcient tool that satises different computing needs. This utility provides
several modes that you can select to save system power. Selecting Auto mode will have the
system shift modes automatically according to current system status. You can also customize
each mode by conguring settings like CPU frequency, GPU frequency, vCore Voltage, and
Fan Control.
Launching EPU
After installing AI Suite II from the motherboard support DVD, launch EPU by clicking
Tool > EPU on the AI Suite II main menu bar.
*• Select From EPU Installation to show the CO2 that has been reduced since you
installed EPU.
*• Select From the Last Reset to show the total CO2 that has been reduced since you
click the Clear button .

different geographic regions and your PC’s system loading. The built-in variety of useful
proles offer exible automatic and manual fan speed controls to achieve a quiet and cool
environment.
Launching FAN Xpert
After installing AI Suite II from the motherboard support DVD, launch FAN Xpert by clicking
Tool > FAN Xpert on the AI Suite II main menu bar.
Fan setting
• Disable: disables the FAN Xpert function.
• Standard: adjusts fan speed in a moderate pattern.
• Silent: minimizes fan speed for quiet fan operation.
• Turbo: maximizes the fan speed for the best cooling effect.
• Intelligent: automatically adjusts the CPU fan speed according to the ambient
temperature.
• Stable: xes the CPU fan speed to avoid noise caused by the unsteady fan rotation.
However, the fan will speed up when the temperature exceeds 70°C.
• User: Allows you to congure the CPU fan prole under certain limitations.
