What does it do? Never bothered finding out.

I dont know what it does but Ive had a lot of crashes on a system with 4 sticks of RAM with spread spectrum enabled, with it disabled it is 100% stable and that is a stock system.

I have read that having it enabled, it reduces interference to rf devices close by, like tv, radio etc.. but if your overclocking you need to disable it as it can cause an unstable overclock.

Thanks guys. I've disabled it and tbh I didnt have a clue what it done hence the question.

In the frequency domain a single frequency such as the external clocks are almost delta pulses with very high power.

By distributing the frequency over a 2%, 5%, 10% range from the average the maximum power contained at any on point in the frequency range is greatly reduced, whilst the average is kept the same.

As said before it's about the RF emmission. It's always said best to disable when overclocking but i don't know how much of an effect this actually has.
