So I was just doing a little research on the setting for Spread Spectrum in my BIOS and came upon a little bit of information about it (most of which I didn't understand) but it was recommended for OCing that it be disabled, which I did (left it alone previously since I wasn't sure what it did). After changing it and starting my computer, the idle temps of my CPU dropped from bouncing between 28c-31c to 22c-24c with the CPU at 1.478 volts. Guess I'm just curious if anyone had any info/ideas on why it was causing the increase in temps?
