2.9 PC Health Status

Shutdown Temperature
If the CPU temperature reaches the limit preset in this setting, the sys-
tem will shotdown automatically.
Spread Spectrum
When 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.
Note:
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 Spec-
trum 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 pro-
cessor to lock up.
