BIOS Setup
Spread Spectrum
(optional)
This function reduces the EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) generated by
modulating clock generator pulses.
[Enabled]
Enables the spread spectrum function to reduce the EMI
(Electromagnetic Interference) problem.
[Disabled]
Enhances the overclocking ability of CPU Base clock.
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.
Relaxed EDC throttling [Auto] (optional)
Relaxed EDC throttling reduces the amount of time the processor will throttle the
cores.
[Auto]
AMD's recommendation
[Enabled]
Reduce the amount of time the processor will throttle.
[Disabled]
Part-specific EDC throttling protection enabled.
AMD Cool’n’Quiet [Enabled]
The Cool’n’Quiet technology can effectively and dynamically lower CPU speed and
power consumption.
SVM Mode [Enabled]
Enables/ disables the AMD SVM (Secure Virtual Machine) Mode.
BIOS PSP Support [Enabled]
(optional)
Enables/ disables the BIOS PSP support. It manages PSP sub-items including all
C2P/P2C mailbox, Secure S3, fTPM support.
Power Supply Idle Control [Auto] (optional)
It allows you to select the power-saving control mode for the CPU when all cores
are in a non-CO state. If set to
Auto
, BIOS will configure these settings.
