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.

* For detailed product information, please visit our website: http://www.asrock.com

CAUTION!

1. Whether 2400/2133/1866/1600MHz memory speed is support-

ed depends on the CPU you adopt. If you want to adopt DDR3

2400/2133/1866/1600 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

under Windows®8.1 / 8 / 7. For Windows®64-bit OS with 64-

bit CPU, there is no such limitation. You can use ASRock XFast

RAM to utilize the memory that Windows®cannot use.

3. Wake-On-WAN allows you to wake up this system from remote

mobile devices, such as smart phones, tables, or other PCs.

It needs third-party softwares and applications to utilize this

feature.
