tRAS

When the DRAM Timing Mode sets to [Manual], the field is adjustable. This setting determines the time RAS takes to read from and write to a memory cell.

tRTP

When the DRAM Timing Mode sets to [Manual], the field is adjustable. Time interval between a read and a precharge command.

tRFC

When the DRAM Timing Mode sets to [Manual], the field is adjustable. This setting determines the time RFC takes to read from and write to a memory cell.

tWR

When the DRAM Timing Mode is set to [Manual], the field is adjustable. It specifies the amount of delay (in clock cycles) that must elapse after the completion of a valid write operation, before an active bank can be precharged. This delay is required to guarantee that data in the write buffers can be written to the memory cells before precharge occurs.

tRRD

When the DRAM Timing Mode sets to [Manual], the field is adjustable. Specifies the active-to-active delay of different banks.

tWTR

When the DRAM Timing Mode is set to [Manual], the field is adjustable. This item controls the Write Data In to Read Command Delay memory timing. This constitutes the minimum number of clock cycles that must occur between the last valid write operation and the next read command to the same internal bank of the DDR device.

FSB/DRAM Ratio

This item will allow you to adjust the ratio of FSB to memory.

Adjusted DRAM Frequency (MHz)

It shows the adjusted memory frequency. Read-only.

Adjust PCI-E Frequency (MHz)

This item allows you to adjust the PCI-E frequency.

Auto Disable DRAM/PCI Frequency

When set to [Enabled], the system will remove (turn off) clocks from empty DIMM and PCI slots to minimize the electromagnetic interference (EMI).

Spread Spectrum

When the motherboard’s clock generator pulses, the 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, set to Enabled for EMI reduction. 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.
