Frequency/Voltage Control

Field

Description

Value

Enable Clock to All DIMM/
PCI

When enabled, clock signals will be sent to the PCI and memory
slots regardless of whether the slot is occupied or not.

Enabled

Disabled

Spread Spectrum

When the mainboard's clock generator pulses, the extreme values of
the pulses creates EMI (electromagnetic interference). Set this field
to Enabled to reduce this EMI level. This reduces interference
problems with other electronics in the area.

Note

: Remember to disable the Spread Spectrum feature if you are

overclocking. A slight jitter can introduce a temporary boost in clock
speed causing the overclocked processor to lock up.
