MS-6702 ATX Mainboard
Use this menu to specify your settings for frequency/voltage control.
Unused PCI Slot Clock
This item enables or disables the PCI slot clock.
Setting options:
Disabled,
Enabled.
Spread Spectrum
When the motherboard’s clock generator pulses, the extreme values (spikes)
of the pulses creates EMI (Electromagnetic Interference).
The Spread Spec-
trum 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, setting to
Enabled
for EMI
reduction.
Remember to disable Spread Spectrum if you are overclocking
because even a slight jitter can introduce a temporary boost in clockspeed
which may just cause your overclocked processor to lock up.
Dynamic OverClocking
Dynamic Overclocking Technology is the automatic overclocking function,
included in the MSI
