The compact but versatile m PCIe Combo II further future-proofs your build with M.2 (NGFF, Next Generation Form Factor) connectivity for SSDs. M.2 is a fast & power-efficient standard that aims to replace m PCIe & m SATA, designed to optimize SSD performance. m PCIe Combo II works with your high speed M.2 SSDs & makes the most of their potential, helping you reduce load times to run your OS & games even faster. One click for better performance, efficiency, digital power control, reduced noise, & enhanced cooling Starting with the Turbo Processing Unit (TPU), 4-Way Optimization performs Auto Tuning, which automatically overclocks the CPU to within ~95% of its potential, a process that typically could take up to 2 days to manually overclock. Auto Tuning is even able to overclock 2 cores at a time, & can configured to prioritize either multiplier (default) or BLCK if desired. The process then moves to the Energy Processing Unit (EPU), which customizes power saving profiles for periods of light use or idle states. Within this module are options to set a TDP cap for low power scenarios, as well as selectively shut off SATA & USB (Universal Serial Bus) ports when idling. Next, DIGI+ VRM optimizes digital power settings to take full advantage of the CPU's built-in digital power delivery, creating a more precise & stable overclocking experience through OCP & LLC presets. Finally, Fan Xpert 2 tests & calibrates each individual case fan connected to your motherboard to create selectable cooling profiles that can be further customized upon completion. The ability to assign customized fan curves and/or all-or-nothing temperature thresholds to profiles is also included.
