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 CPU up to 95W. Please refer to our website for

CPU support list. ASRock website http://www.asrock.com

2. This motherboard supports Untied Overclocking Technology. Please read

“Untied Overclocking Technology” on page 22 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 13 for proper

installation.

4. Whether 1066MHz memory speed is supported depends on the AM2+

CPU you adopt. If you want to adopt DDR2 1066 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®XP

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

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

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

and is subject to change. Please check NVIDIA®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 9 and 10 for

the minimum hardware requirement and the passed 1080p Blu-ray (BD) /

HD-DVD films in our lab test.

8. This DVI-D port for the chipset adopted on this motherboard can support

DVI/HDCP and HDMI format signal. You may use the DVI to HDMI adapter to

convert this DVI-D port to HDMI interface. DVI to HDMI adapter is not bundled

with our product, please refer to the adapter vendor for further information.

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

Hard Disk Setup Guide” on page 27 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. Power Management for USB 2.0 works fine under Microsoft®Windows®

VistaTM 64-bit / VistaTM / XP 64-bit / XP SP1 or SP2 / 2000 SP4.

11. 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

12. 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.

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

13. 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.

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 it

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

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

system.

15. This motherboard supports ASRock AM2 Boost overclocking technology. If

you enable this function in the BIOS setup, the memory performance will

improve up to 12.5%, but the effect still depends on the AM2 CPU you

adopt. Enabling this function will overclock the chipset/CPU reference clock.

However, we can not guarantee the system stability for all CPU/DRAM

configurations. If your system is unstable after AM2 Boost function is enabled,

it may not be applicative to your system. You may choose to disable this

function for keeping the stability of your system.
