Spr ead  Spectrum

W hen the motherboard

s clock generator pulses, the extreme values (spikes) of the

pulses creates 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,
select the desired range for EMI reduction. Remember to disable 

Spread Spectrum

function if you are overclocking, because even a slight jitter can introduce a tempo-
rary boost in clock speed which may just cause your overclocked processor to lock
up.

MSI  Reminds You...

The settings shown in different color in 

CPU Voltage

Memory Voltage

 and

PCI Express Voltage

 help to verify if your setting is proper for your system.

G ray:

Default  setting.

Yellow: High  performance  setting.
Red:

Not recommended setting and the system may be      unstable.

Changing 

CPU Voltage,  Memory Voltage

 and 

PCI Express  Voltage

  may

result  in  the instability  of the  system;  therefore, it  is 

NOT

 recommended  to

change the default setting for long-term usage.

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.
