Spread Spectrum - Page 2

My board has two such options and disabling them both did wonders for OCing.

Asus manuals are as dumb as "Spread Spectrum - this enables or disables Spread Spectrum".

Sorry to trouble you all with this, but I wanted to be sure. The same recommendation for similar settings in BOG probably applies to this.

In any case, the advice is the same, no matter whether it applies to the graphics card, CPU, etc...

Spread spectrum is good for reducing EMI but for stability and overclockability, best to disable it.
