Auto Detect DIMM/PCI Clk (Enabled)
When this item is enabled, BIOS will disable the clock signal of free
DIMM and PCI slots.
Spread Spectrum (Enabled)
If you enable spread spectrum, it can significantly reduce the EMI
(Electro-Magnetic Interference) generated by the system.
CPU Host Clock (Default)
This item is used for overclocking only.
Load Fail-Safe Defaults Option
This option opens a dialog box that lets you install fail-safe defaults
for all appropriate items in the Setup Utility:
Press <Y> and then <Enter> to install the defaults. Press <N> and
then <Enter> to not install the defaults. The fail-safe defaults place no
great demands on the system and are generally stable. If your system
is not functioning correctly, try installing the fail-safe defaults as a
first step in getting your system working properly again. If you only
want to install fail-safe defaults for a specific option, select and
display that option, and then press <F6>.
Load Optimized Defaults Option
This option opens a dialog box that lets you install optimized defaults
for all appropriate items in the Setup Utility. Press <Y> and then
<Enter> to install the defaults. Press <N> and then <Enter> to not
install the defaults. The optimized defaults place demands on the
system that may be greater than the performance level of the
components, such as the CPU and the memory. You can cause fatal
errors or instability if you install the optimized defaults when your
hardware does not support them. If you only want to install setup
defaults for a specific option, select and display that option, and then
press <F7>.
