TUF Thermal Radar 2 introduction

TUF Thermal Radar 2 comes with these four utilities in one interface:Thermal Tuning, Thermal Status, Fan Control and DIGI+ Power Control.

Thermal Tuning

The Thermal Tuning utility allows you to automatically optimize your system’s cooling solution such as the CPU fan, chassis fans, and the TUF turbo fans in just one click.

Thermal Status

The Thermal Status utility allows you to monitor the thermal conditions of your motherboard’s CPU and VGA zones in real time. With this utility, you can also assess your
CPU’s temperature level during system load.

Fan Control

The Fan Control utility provides an easy-to-use preset fan profiles that automatically tweaks the fan speed. It also allows you to customize the speed of each fan and save it as
a fan profile.

The Fan Overtime is only applicable for the two assistant fans.

The Fan Overtime is disabled when you enable the ErP item in the BIOS.

The two assistant fans will use the system’s standby power after shutdown. Do not connect too many power-sharing devices as this result to power overload.

Customizing the fan setting

You can customize your fan’s speed using the Smart Mode and RPM (rotations per minute) Mode.

Smart Mode

Smart Mode allows you to customize the fan’s rotation speed for a certain temperature. With this utility, you can also assign three critical components for the Thermal Radar 2
to monitor.

RPM Mode

The RPM Mode allows you to set the fan speed when the temperature is below 75C.

DIGI+ Power Control

DIGI+ Power Control utility allows you to adjust the CPU and DRAM power settings for an optimum system efficiency, overall system stability and performance.

Adjusting the CPU power

1.CPU Load-line Calibration

6/13/2017 TUF Thermal Radar 2 introduction
CPU Load-line Calibration adjusts the voltage range and controls the system temperature. Higher load-line calibration could get higher voltage and good overclocking
performance but increases the CPU and VRM thermal conditions.

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 Power Phase Control

CPU Power Phase Control allows you to get more transient and better thermal performance by increasing the phase number under heavy system loading. To increase VRM
efficiency, reduce the phase number under light system loading.

The system automatically sets the default to [Extreme] when using the Intel iGPU.

4.CPU Power Thermal Control

A higher temperature brings a wider CPU power thermal range, and extends the overclocking tolerance to enlarge overclocking potential.

5.CPU Voltage Frequency

CPU Voltage Frequency affects the VRM transient response and thermal components. Higher VRM frequency gets quicker transient response.

6.Active Frequency Mode

Active Frequency Mode allows you to enhance the power saving condition of the CPU. Tick on to enable this item to get a quicker transient response while saving the CPU
power.

7.CPU Power Duty Control

CPU Power Duty Control allows balancing the CPU load based on the temperature or on the current system load.

1.DRAM Current Capability

A higher value brings a wider total power range and extends the overclocking frequency range simultaneously.

2.DRAM Voltage Frequency

Allow you to adjust the DRAM switching frequency for system stability or to increase OC range.

3.DRAM Power Phase Control

Select Extreme for full phase mode to increase system performance or select Optimized for ASUS optimized phase tuning profile to increase DRAM power efficiency.
