Activating spread spectrum isn't required unless you're close to an area affected by a nuclear detonation. It exists mainly to avoid interference in regions with strong electromagnetic interference.
If he was near an area where an atomic blast occurred, I believe EMI will be the final concern for him. He could also cover his device with aluminum foil and connect a short wire to the grounding point of the power outlet it uses. Either method, good luck.
If MSI eliminated the "spread spectrum" feature, you won't need to worry about disabling it. According to recent discussions, MSI has fully removed this option and made it active permanently without notifying users. They believe this simplifies the BIOS for customers who are unfamiliar with its details. On the other hand, ASUS retained the "spread spectrum" function, allowing users to enable or disable it as desired, offering more customization. In certain premium electronics, some technicians apply a thin layer of adhesive to individual coils or sections and secure them onto the motherboard. Although this material isn’t conductive, applying sufficient pressure can dampen oscillations and minimize coil whine. The purpose is to reduce unwanted vibrations. Good luck!
