Spread Spectrum

When the motherboard’s clock generator pulses, the extreme values (spikes) of the

pulses creates EMI (Electromagnetic Interference). The Spread Spectrum function

reduces the EMI generated by modulating the pulses so that the spikes of the pulses

are reduced to flatter curves.

1.If you do not have any EMI problem, leave the setting at [Disabled] for

optimal system stability and performance. But if you are plagued by EMI,

select the value of Spread Spectrum for EMI reduction.

2.The greater the Spread Spectrum value is, the greater the EMI is reduced,

and the system will become less stable. For the most suitable Spread

Spectrum value, please consult your local EMI regulation.

3.Remember to disable Spread Spectrum if you are overclocking because

even a slight jitter can introduce a temporary boost in clock speed which

may just cause your overclocked processor to lock up.
