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

overclocked processor to lock up.
