Spread Spectrum
When the manboard’s clock generator pulses, the extreme values (spkes) of the pulses 
create EMI (Electromagnetc Interference). The Spread Spectrum functon reduces the 
EMI generated by modulatng the pulses so that the spkes of the pulses are reduced to 
atter curves. If you do not have any EMI problem, leave the settng at Dsabled for opt
-
mal system stablty and performance. But f you are plagued by EMI, set to Enabled for 
EMI reducton. Remember to dsable Spread Spectrum f you are overclockng because 
even a slght jtter can ntroduce a temporary boost n clock speed whch may just cause 
your overclocked processor to lock up.

stablty and performance. But f you are plagued by EMI, select the value of Spread 
Spectrum for EMI reducton. 
The greater the Spread Spectrum value s, the greater the EMI s reduced, and the
