to change the clock rate of graphics engine. You can use the <+> or <-> keys to change the
value, or you can type the desired value by using the numeric keypad.

► Spread Spectrum

If you enabled this function, it can significantly reduce the EMI (Electromagnetic Interference)

generated by the system, so to comply with FCC regulation. But if overclocking is activated,
you had better disable it.

Voltage Options
