► CPU Clock Amplitude Ctrl

This item allows you to adjust the amplitude of CPU clock.

► PCI Express Clock

This item allows you to adjust the PCI Express bus clock.

► PCI Clock

This item allows you to adjust the PCI bus clock. Configuration options:
�Synchronous�� (Synchronous with PCI Express bus clock); �33.6 MH��; �37.3 MH��; �42.0
MH��.

► Spread Spectrum

If you enabled this function, it can significantly reduce the EMI (ElectroMagnetic Interference)
generated by the system, so to comply with FCC regulation. But if overclocking is activated,
you had better disable it.

► Over Clock Recovery

When this feature is enabled, once system failed after overclocking, it will load the previous
CMOS settings (before overclocking) back, so the system can always work.

► Delay Prior to Thermal (Appears only when CPU supports)

Some processors come with a Thermal Monitor which consists of a on-die thermal sensor and
a Thermal Control Circuit (TCC).
When the thermal sensor detects that the processor has reached its maximum safe operating
temperature, it will activate the TCC. The TCC will then modulate the clock cycles by inserting
null cycles, typically at a rate of 50-70% of the total number of clock cycles. This results in the
processor "resting" 50-70% of the time.
As the die temperature drops, the TCC will gradually reduce the number of null cycles until no
more is required to keep the die temperature below the safe point. Then the thermal sensor
turns the TCC off. This mechanism allows the processor to dynamically adjust its duty cycles
to ensure its die temperature remains within safe limits.
The Delay Prior To Thermal BIOS feature controls the activation of the Thermal Monitor's
mode. It allows you to determine when the Thermal Monitor should be activated after the sys-
