ASRock IES

The next brand name utility from ASRock is called ASRock IES (Intelligent Energy Saver).

You already know that you can enable from the BIOS the mainboard’s power-saving technologies, such as the one cutting down the number of active CPU voltage regulator phases in idle mode. It is a very smart solution, although you need to disable this feature during overclocking, unlike MSI mainboards that also have the same thing. However, the BIOS offers nothing for configuring of this technology that is why I expected to find some in the ASRock IES program. It turned out that this utility only serves to indicate the current number of active phases in the processor voltage regulator circuitry, to keep track of time, to calculate the amount of saved power, i.e. it is not very useful.
