Chapter 2 MS-7693 ▶ HT Link Control Press to enter the sub-menu. ▶ HT Incoming/ Outgoing Link Width These items allow you to set the Hyper-Transport Link width. Setting to [Auto], the system will detect the HT link width automatically. ▶ DRAM Voltage/ SB Voltage/ NB Voltage/ CPU Voltage/ CPU-NB Voltage These items are used to adjust the voltage of CPU, Memory and chipset. ▶ Spread Spectrum This function reduces the EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) generated by modulating clock generator pulses. Important • 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. • 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. • 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. ▶ Overclocking Profiles Press to enter the sub-menu. ▶ Overclocking Profile 1/ 2/ 3/ 4/ 5/ 6 Press to enter the sub-menu. ▶ Set Name for Overclocking Profile 1/ 2/ 3/ 4/ 5/ 6 Give a name by typing in this item. ▶ Save Overclocking Profile 1/ 2/ 3/ 4/ 5/ 6 Save the current overclocking settings to ROM for selected profile. ▶ Load/ Clear Overclocking Profile 1/ 2/ 3/ 4/ 5/ 6 Load/ Clear the stored profile settings from ROM. ▶ Overclocking Profile Save Save the current overclocking settings to USB flash disk. ▶ Overclocking Profile Load Load the stored settings from USB flash disk. ▶ MEMORY-Z Press to enter the sub-menu. This sub-menu highlights all the settings and timings of your DIMMs. This information will vary by model and is read-only. You can also access this information at any time by pressing [F5].

HT L±nk Control
Press <Enter> to enter the sub-menu.
HT Incom±ng/ Outgo±ng L±nk W±dth
These ±tems allow you to set the Hyper-Transport L±nk w±dth. Sett±ng to [Auto], the
system w±ll detect the HT l±nk w±dth automat±cally.
DRAM Voltage/ SB Voltage/ NB Voltage/ CPU Voltage/ CPU-NB Voltage
These ±tems are used to adjust the voltage of CPU, Memory and ch±pset.
Spread Spectrum
Th±s funct±on reduces the EMI (Electromagnet±c Interference) generated by modulat±ng
clock generator pulses.
Important
If you do not have any EMI problem, leave the sett±ng at [D±sabled] for opt±mal system
stab±l±ty and performance. But ±f you are plagued by EMI, select the value of Spread
Spectrum for EMI reduct±on.
The greater the Spread Spectrum value ±s, the greater the EMI ±s reduced, and the
system w±ll become less stable. For the most su±table Spread Spectrum value,
please
consult your local EMI regulat±on.
Remember to d±sable Spread Spectrum ±f you are overclock±ng because even a sl±ght
j±tter can ±ntroduce a temporary boost ±n clock speed wh±ch may just cause your
overclocked processor to lock up.
Overclock±ng Profiles
Press <Enter> to enter the sub-menu.
Overclock±ng Profile 1/ 2/ 3/ 4/ 5/ 6
Press <Enter> to enter the sub-menu.
Set Name for Overclock±ng Profile 1/ 2/ 3/ 4/ 5/ 6
G±ve a name by typ±ng ±n th±s ±tem.
Save Overclock±ng Profile 1/ 2/ 3/ 4/ 5/ 6
Save the current overclock±ng sett±ngs to ROM for selected profile.
