MS-7125 ATX Mainboard SATA Spread Spectrum This setting is used to enable or disable the SATA Spread Spectrum feature. Setting options: [Disabled], [Down Spread]. PCIE Spread Spectrum This setting is used to enable or disable the CPU Spread Spectrum feature. When overclocking the CPU, always set it to [Disabled]. Setting options: [Disabled], [Down Spread]. PCIE Clock The system board designer selects whether the PCIE clock is tightly synchronized with the CPU clock or is asynchronous. Setting options: [100MHz]~[145MHz]. SSE/ SSE2 Instructions This setting disables/enables the SSE/SSE2 Instructions. The Streaming SIMD Extensions (SSE) were introduced in the Pentium III processor. The SSE extensions consist of a new set of instructions and a new set of registers. These instructions and registers are designed to allow Single-Instruction Multiple-Data (SIMD) computations to be made on single-precision floating-point numbers. The Streaming SIMD Extensions 2 (SSE2) were introduced in the Pentium 4 and Intel Xeon processors. They consist of a new set of instructions that operate on the XXM and MXCSR registers and perform SIMD operations on double-precision floatingpoint values and on integer values.Several of these new SSE/SSE2 instructions also operate in the MMX registers. Setting options: [Enabled], [Disabled]. Cool'n'Quiet control This feature is especially designed for AMD Athlon processor, which provides a CPU temperature detecting function to prevent your CPU's from overheating due to the heavy working loading. Setting options: [Disabled], [Enabled]. 3-26

SATA Spread Spectrum
This setting is used to enable or disable the SATA Spread Spectrum feature. Setting
options: [Disabled], [Down Spread].
PCIE Spread Spectrum
This setting is used to enable or disable the CPU Spread Spectrum feature. When
overclocking the CPU, always set it to [Disabled]. Setting options: [Disabled], [Down

PCIE Clock
The system board designer selects whether the PCIE clock is tightly synchronized
with the CPU clock or is asynchronous. Setting options: [100MHz]~[145MHz].

This setting disables/enables the SSE/SSE2 Instructions. The Streaming SIMD Exten-
sions (SSE) were introduced in the Pentium III processor. The SSE extensions con-
sist of a new set of instructions and a new set of registers. These instructions and
registers are designed to allow Single-Instruction Multiple-Data (SIMD) computations
to be made on single-precision floating-point numbers.
