Frequency/Voltage Control
Spread Spectrum
When the motherboard's clock generator pulses, the extreme values (spikes) of the pulses
create 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 temporary boost in clock speed which may just cause your overclocked
processor to lock up.
