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.
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
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.
