MS-7267 Mainboard Auto Disable DIMM/PCI Freque This item is used to auto detect the DIMM/PCI slots. When set to [Enabled], the system will remove (turn off) clocks from empty DIMM/PCI slots to minimize the electromagnetic interference (EMI). M emory Voltage Adjusting the DDR voltage can increase the DDR speed. Any changes made to this setting may cause a stability issue, so changing the DDR voltage for long-term purpose is NOT recommended. PCI Express Voltage (V) These item adjusts the voltage of PCI Express Voltage. Any changes made to this setting may cause a stability issue, so changing the PCIE voltage for long-term purpose is NOT recommended. Spread 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. Important 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. 3-22
