BIOS Setup
Press Enter to enter the sub-menu. This sub-menu displays the information of
installed CPU. You can also access this information menu at any time by pressing [F4].
Read only.
fCPU Technology Support
Press Enter to enter the sub-menu. The sub-menu shows the key features of
installed CPU. Read only.
f MEMORY-Z
Press Enter to enter the sub-menu. This sub-menu displays all the settings and
timings of installed memory. You can also access this information menu at any time by
pressing [F5].
fDIMMx Memory SPD
Press Enter to enter the sub-menu. The sub-menu displays the information of
installed memory. Read only.
f CPU Features
Press Enter to enter the sub-menu.
fSimultaneous Multi-Threading [Enabled] (optional)
Enables/ disables the AMD Simultaneous Multi-Threading. This item appears when
the installed CPU supports this technology.
fGlobal C-state Control [Enabled] (optional)
Enables/ disables IO based C-state generation and DF C-states.
fOpcache Control [Auto] (optional)
Enables/ disables Opcache. Opcache stores recently decode instruction to save
the decoding time when the instruction is repeated. And ist may increase the CPU
performance and reduce the power consumption slightly.
fIOMMU Mode (optional)
Enables/disables the IOMMU (I/O Memory Management Unit) for I/O Virtualization.
fSpread Spectrum (optional)
This function reduces the EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) generated by
modulating clock generator pulses.
[Enabled] Enables the spread spectrum function to reduce the EMI
(Electromagnetic Interference) problem.
[Disabled] Enhances the overclocking ability of CPU Base clock.
Important
y
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.
y
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.
y
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.
