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.
