CAUTION!

1. About the setting of “Hyper Threading Technology”, please check page

58 of “User Manual” in the support CD.

2. This motherboard supports Untied Overclocking Technology. Please read

“Untied Overclocking Technology” on page 37 for details.

3. This motherboard supports Triple Channel Memory Technology. Be-

fore you implement Triple Channel Memory Technology, make sure to

read the installation guide of memory modules on page 14 for proper

installation.

4. Due to the operating system limitation, the actual memory size may be

less than 4GB for the reservation for system usage under Windows®XP

and Windows®VistaTM. For Windows®XP 64-bit and Windows®VistaTM

64-bit with 64-bit CPU, there is no such limitation.

5. DTS (Digital Theater Systems) is a multi-channel digital surround sound

format. To enable DTS function, you need to adjust the settings after

audio driver installation. Please refer to “DTS Operation Guide” on page

35 for details.

6. For microphone input, this motherboard supports both stereo and mono

modes. For audio output, this motherboard supports 2-channel, 4-

channel, 6-channel, and 8-channel modes. Please check the table on

page 3 for proper connection.

7. Before installing SATAII hard disk to SATAII connector, please read the

“SATAII Hard Disk Setup Guide” on page 40 of “User Manual” in the

support CD to adjust your SATAII hard disk drive to SATAII mode. You can

also connect SATA hard disk to SATAII connector directly.

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

the third-party overclocking tools. Overclocking may affect your system 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.

devices to get the best system performance under Windows®

environment. Please visit our website for the operation procedures of

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

10. Featuring an advanced proprietary hardware and software design,

Intelligent Energy Saver is a revolutionary technology that delivers

unparalleled power savings. In other words, it is able to provide excep-

tional power saving and improve power efficiency without sacrificing

computing performance. Please visit our website for the operation pro-

cedures of Intelligent Energy Saver.

11. Although this motherboard offers stepless control, it is not recom-

mended to perform over-clocking. Frequencies other than the recom-

mended CPU bus frequencies may cause the instability of the system

or damage the CPU.

12. While CPU overheat is detected, the system will automatically shutdown.

Before you resume the system, please check if the CPU fan on the

motherboard functions properly and unplug the power cord, then plug it

back again. To improve heat dissipation, remember to spray thermal

grease between the CPU and the heatsink when you install the PC

system.
