HT Lnk Control

Press <Enter> to enter the sub-menu and the followng screen appears.

HT Incomng/ Outgong Lnk Wdth

These tems allow you to set the Hyper-Transport Lnk wdth. Settng to [Auto], the

system wll detect the HT lnk wdth automatcally.

HT Lnk Speed

Ths tem allows you to set the Hyper-Transport Lnk speed. Settng to [Auto], the sys-

tem wll detect the HT lnk speed automatcally.

Adjusted HT Lnk Frequency (MHz)

It shows the adjusted HT Lnk frequency. Read-only.

Adjust PCI-E Frequency (MHz)

Ths field allows you to select the PCIE frequency (n MHz).

Auto Dsable DRAM/PCI Frequency

When set to [Enabled], the system wll remove (turn off) clocks from empty DRAM/ PCI

slots to mnmze the electromagnetc nterference (EMI).

CPU VDD Voltage (V)/ CPU-NB VDD Voltage (V)/ CPU Voltage (V)/ CPU-NB Voltage

(V)/ CPU DDR-PHY Voltage (V)/ DRAM Voltage (V)/ NB Voltage (V)/ NB PCI-E Voltage

(V)/ SB Voltage (V)/ HT Lnk Voltage (V)

These tems are used to adjust the voltage of CPU, Memory and chpset.

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 flatter curves.

Important

If you do not have any EMI problem, leave the settng at [Dsabled] for optmal system

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

system wll become less stable. For the most sutable Spread Spectrum value, please

consult your local EMI regulaton.
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 over-

clocked processor to lock up.
