Spread | When the motherboard’s clock generator pulses, the | Enabled |
Spectrum | extreme values (spikes) of the pulses create 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. 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, setting to Enabled for EMI reduction. |
|
| Remember to disable Spread Spectrum if you are |
|
| overlooking because even a slight jitter can introduce |
|
| a temporary boost in clock speed which may just |
|
| cause your over lock ed processor to lock up. |
