CAUTION!

1. Whether 1866/1600MHz memory speed is supported depends

on the AM3/AM3+ CPU you adopt. If you want to adopt DDR3

1866/1600 memory module on this motherboard, please refer

to the memory support list on our website for the compatible

memory modules.

ASRock website: http://www.asrock.com

2. Due to the operating system limitation, the actual memory size

may be less than 4GB for the reservation for system usage un-

der Windows® 7 / VistaTM / XP. For Windows® 64-bit OS with 64-

bit CPU, there is no such limitation.

WARNING

Please realize that there is a certain risk involved with overclocking,

including adjusting the setting in the BIOS, applying Untied Overclocking

Technology, or using third-party overclocking tools. Overclocking may

affect your system’s stability, or even cause damage to the components

and devices of your system. It should be done at your own risk and

expense. We are not responsible for possible damage caused by

overclocking.
