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. 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 desired range for EMI reduction. Remember to disable Spread Spectrum
function if you are overclocking, because even a slight jitter can introduce a tempo-
rary boost in clock speed which may just cause your overclocked processor to lock
up.
Auto Disable PCI Clock
This item is used to auto disable the PCI slots. When set to [Enabled], the system will
remove (turn off) clocks from empty PCI slots to minimize the electromagnetic inter-
ference (EMI).
CPU Shutdown Temperature
If the CPU temperature reaches the upper limit preset in this setting, the system will be
shut down automatically. This helps you to prevent the CPU overheating problem.
This item is available only when your OS supports this function, such as Windows
ME/XP.
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.
