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 over-

clocking 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.

CAUTION!

1. ASRock UCC (Unlock CPU Core) feature simplif es AMD CPU activa-

tion. As long as a simple switch of the UEFI option “ASRock UCC”, you

can unlock the extra CPU core to enjoy an instant performance boost.

When UCC feature is enabled, the dual-core or triple-core CPU will boost

to the quad-core CPU, and some CPU, including quad-core CPU, can

also increase L3 cache size up to 6MB, which means you can enjoy the

upgrade CPU performance with a better price. Please be noted that UCC

feature is supported with AM3/AM3+ CPU only, and in addition, not every

AM3/AM3+ CPU can support this function because some CPU’ s hidden

core may be malfunctioned.

2. This motherboard supports Untied Overclocking Technology. Please read

“Untied Overclocking Technology” on page 47 for details.

3. This motherboard supports Dual Channel Memory Technology. Before

you implement Dual Channel Memory Technology, make sure to read the

installation guide of memory modules on page 17 for proper installation.

4. Whether 2000/1866/1800/1600MHz memory speed is supported de-

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

2000/1866/1800/1600 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

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

less than 4GB for the reservation for system usage under Windows ® 7 /

VistaTM / XP. For Windows® 64-bit OS with 64-bit CPU, there is no such

limitation.

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

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

nel, 6-channel, and 8-channel modes. Please check the table on page 13

for proper connection.

7. ASRock Extreme Tuning Utility (AXTU) is an all-in-one tool to ne-tune

different system functions in a user-friendly interface, which is including

Hardware Monitor, Fan Control, Overclocking, OC DNA and IES. In Hard-

ware Monitor, it shows the major readings of your system. In Fan Control,

it shows the fan speed and temperature for you to adjust. In Overclock-

ing, you are allowed to overclock CPU frequency for optimal system

performance. In OC DNA, you can save your OC settings as a prof le

and share with your friends. Your friends then can load the OC pro f le to

their own system to get the same OC settings. In IES (Intelligent Energy

Saver), the voltage regulator can reduce the number of output phases to

improve eff ciency when the CPU cores are idle without sacri f cing com-

puting performance. Please visit our website for the operation procedures

of ASRock Extreme Tuning Utility (AXTU).

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

8. ASRock Instant Flash is a BIOS f ash utility embedded in Flash ROM.

This convenient BIOS update tool allows you to update system BIOS

without entering operating systems f rst like MS-DOS or Windows ®. With

this utility, you can press <F6> key during the POST or press <F2> key to

BIOS setup menu to access ASRock Instant Flash. Just launch this tool

and save the new BIOS f le to your USB f ash drive, f oppy disk or hard

drive, then you can update your BIOS only in a few clicks without prepar-

ing an additional f oppy diskette or other complicated f ash utility. Please

be noted that the USB f ash drive or hard drive must use FAT32/16/12 f le

system.

9. If you desire a faster, less restricted way of charging your Apple devices,

such as iPhone/iPod/iPad Touch, ASRock has prepared a wonderful so-

lution for you - ASRock APP Charger. Simply installing the APP Charger

driver, it makes your iPhone charged much quickly from your computer

and up to 40% faster than before. ASRock APP Charger allows you to

quickly charge many Apple devices simultaneously and even supports

continuous charging when your PC enters into Standby mode (S1), Sus-

pend to RAM (S3), hibernation mode (S4) or power of f (S5). With APP

Charger driver installed, you can easily enjoy the marvelous charging

experience than ever.

ASRock website: http://www.asrock.com/Feature/AppCharger/index.asp

10. ASRock SmartView, a new function of internet browser, is the smart start

page for IE that combines your most visited web sites, your history , your

Facebook friends and your real-time newsfeed into an enhanced view for

a more personal Internet experience. ASRock motherboards are exclu-

sively equipped with the ASRock SmartView utility that helps you keep in

touch with friends on-the-go. To use ASRock SmartView feature, please

make sure your OS version is Windows ® 7 / 7 64 bit / V istaTM / VistaTM 64

bit, and your browser version is IE8.

ASRock website: http://www.asrock.com/Feature/SmartView/index.asp

11. ASRock XFast USB can boost USB storage device performance. The

performance may depend on the property of the device.

12. ASRock On/Off Play Technology allows users to enjoy the great audio ex-

perience from the portable audio devices, such like MP3 player or mobile

phone to your PC, even when the PC is turned of f (or in ACPI S5 mode)!

This motherboard also provides a free 3.5mm audio cable (optional) that

ensures users the most convenient computing environment.

13. Although this motherboard offers stepless control, it is not recommended

to perform over-clocking. Frequencies other than the recommended CPU

bus frequencies may cause the instability of the system or damage the

CPU.

14. 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
