H/W Monitor
This section shows the status of your CPU, fan, overall system status, etc.
Monitor function is available only if there is hardware monitoring mechanism onboard.
Spread Spectrum
When 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.
Smart Fan Target
The mainboard provides the Smart Fan system which can control the fan speed
automatically depending on the current temperature to keep it with in a specific range.
MSI Reminds You...
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 suit-
able Spread Spectrum value, please consult your local EMI regulation.
3.Remember to disable Spread Spectrum if you are overclocking be-
cause even a slight jitter can introduce a temporary boost in clock
speed which may just cause your overclocked processor to lock up.
