tRCD

When DRAM s refreshed, both rows and columns are addressed separately. Ths

setup tem allows you to determne the tmng of the transton from RAS (row ad

the DRAM performance.

tRP

Ths settng controls the number of cycles for Row Address Strobe (RAS) to be

allowed to precharge. If nsu󰘲cent tme s allowed for the RAS to accumulate ts

charge before DRAM refresh, refreshng may be ncomplete and DRAM may fal

Spread Spectrum

When the manboard’s clock generator pulses, the extreme values (spkes) of the pulses

create EMI (Electromagnetc Interference). The Spread Spectrum functon reduces the

EMI generated by modulatng the pulses so that the spkes of the pulses are reduced

to 󰘱atter curves.

Important

•

If you do not have any EMI problem, leave the settng at [Dsabled] for optmal system

stablty and performance. But f you are plagued by EMI, select the value of Spread

Spectrum for EMI reducton.

•

The greater the Spread Spectrum value s, the greater the EMI s reduced, and the

system wll become less stable. For the most sutable Spread Spectrum value, please

consult your local EMI regulaton.

•

Remember to dsable Spread Spectrum f you are overclockng because even a slght

jtter can ntroduce a temporary boost n clock speed whch may just cause your over

clocked processor to lock up.
