CPU Spread Spectrum Allows you to reduce the EMI of the front side bus by modulating the
signals it generates so that the spikes are reduced to flatter curves.
Disabled
-0.5%, 1.0%
PCIE Spread Spectrum Allows you to reduce the EMI of the PCI Express bus by modulating the
signals it generates so that the spikes are reduced to flatter curves.
When set to down spread, the chipset modulates the PCI Express bus'
baseline signal downwards by a small amount.
When set to disabled, the chipset disables any modulation of the PCI
Express bus' baseline signal.
Disabled
Down Spread
SATA Spread Spectrum Allows you to reduce the EMI of the SATA bus by modulating the
signals it generates so that the spikes are reduced to flatter curves.
When set to down spread, the chipset modulates the SATA bus'
baseline signal downwards by a small amount.
When set to disabled, the chipset disables any modulation of the SATA
bus' baseline signal.
