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.

CAUTION!

1. This motherboard supports Untied Overclocking Technology. Please read

“Untied Overclocking Technology” on page 40 for details.

2. 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 15 for proper

installation.

3. Whether 1600MHz memory speed is supported depends on the AM3

CPU you adopt. If you want to adopt DDR3 1600 memory module on this

motherboard, please refer to the memory support list on our website for

the compatible memory modules.

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. If you want to use CrossFireXTM or 3-Way CrossFireXTM function, please

follow the instructions on page 22 and 23 to reverse the direction of ASRock

SLI/XFire Switch Card in advance.

6. The maximum shared memory size is defined by the chipset vendor

and is subject to change. Please check AMD website for the latest

information.

7. 1080p Blu-ray (BD) / HD-DVD playback support on this motherboard re-

quires the proper hardware configuration. Please refer to page 11 and 12

for the minimum hardware requirement and the passed 1080p Blu-ray

(BD) / HD-DVD films in our lab test.

8. 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.

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

Hard Disk Setup Guide” on page 42 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.

10. This motherboard supports eSATAII interface, the external SATAII

specification. Please read “eSATAII Interface Introduction” on page 37

for details about eSATAII and eSATAII installation procedures.

11. Power Management for USB 2.0 works fine under Microsoft®Windows®

VistaTM 64-bit / VistaTM / XP 64-bit / XP SP1 or SP2.

12. It is a user-friendly ASRock overclocking tool which allows you to surveil

your system by hardware monitor function and overclock your hardware

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

13. Featuring an advanced proprietary hardware and software design,

Intelligent Energy Saver is a revolutionary technology that delivers

unparalleled power savings. The voltage regulator can reduce the

number of output phases to improve efficiency when the CPU cores are

idle. In other words, it is able to provide exceptional power saving and

improve power efficiency without sacrificing computing performance.

To use Intelligent Energy Saver function, please enable Cool ‘n’ Quiet

option in the BIOS setup in advance. Please visit our website for the

operation procedures of Intelligent Energy Saver.

14. ASRock Instant Flash is a BIOS flash utility embedded in Flash ROM.

This convenient BIOS update tool allows you to update system BIOS

without entering operating systems first 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 file to your USB flash drive, floppy disk or hard

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

ing an additional floppy diskette or other complicated flash utility. Please

be noted that the USB flash drive or hard drive must use FAT32/16/12 file

system.

15. 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.

16. 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.

17. EuP, stands for Energy Using Product, was a provision regulated by

European Union to define the power consumption for the completed system.

According to EuP, the total AC power of the completed system shall be

under 1.00W in off mode condition. To meet EuP standard, an EuP ready

motherboard and an EuP ready power supply are required. According to

Intel’s suggestion, the EuP ready power supply must meet the standard of

5v standby power efficiency is higher than 50% under 100 mA current

consumption. For EuP ready power supply selection, we recommend you

checking with the power supply manufacturer for more details.
