Determines minimum time interval between the end of write data burst and the start of a column-read command; allows I/O gating to overdrive sense amplifies before read command starts.

▶tRRD

Specifies the active-to-active delay of different banks.

▶tRTP

Time interval between a read and a precharge command.

▶Spread Spectrum

This function reduces the EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) generated by modulating clock generator pulses.

Important

•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.

•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.

•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.

▶CPU Core Voltage/ DRAM Voltage. These items are used to adjust the voltages.

▶Current CPU Core Voltage/ Current DRAM Voltage These items show current voltages. Read-only.
