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

45.

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 19 for proper installation.

3. DDR3 frequency options may depend on the processor. Only K-Series

CPU can support DDR3 overclock to 2133 and 1866.

4. 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®OS with 64-bit CPU, there is no such limita-

tion.

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

is subject to change. Please check Intel®website for the latest informa-

tion.

6. You can choose to use two of the three monitors only. D-Sub, DVI-D and-

HDMI monitors cannot be enabled at the same time. Besides, with the

DVI-to-HDMI adapter, the DVI-D port can support the same features as

HDMIport.

7. xvYCC and Deep Color are only supported under Windows®7 64-bit /

7. Deep Color mode will be enabled only if the display supports 12bpc

in EDID. HBR is supported under Windows®7 64-bit / 7 / VistaTM 64-bit /

VistaTM.

8. 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.

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

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

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

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

Control, it shows the fan speed and temperature for you to adjust. In

Overclocking, you are allowed to overclock CPU frequency for optimal

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

proﬁle and share with your friends. Your friends then can load the OC

proﬁle 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 efficiency when the CPU cores are idle without

sacrificing computing performance. Please visit our website for the

operation procedures of ASRock Extreme Tuning Utility (AXTU).

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

10. 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.

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

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

solution for you - ASRock APP Charger. Simply installing the APP Char-

ger driver, it makes your iPhone charged much quickly from your com-

puter 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 off (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

12. 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 exclusively

equipped with the SmartView utility that helps you keep in touch with

friends on-the-go. To use SmartView feature, please make sure your

OS version is Windows®7 / 7 64 bit / VistaTM / VistaTM 64 bit, and your

browser version is IE8. ASRock website: http://www.asrock.com/Feature/

SmartView/index.asp

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

performance may depend on the property of the device.

14. With Lucid Virtu technology, you can enjoy beneﬁts from both 3D perfor-

mance of the discrete GPU and advanced media features of Intel®HD

graphics.

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 sys-

tem.

17. Combo Cooler Option (C.C.O.) provides the ﬂexible option to adopt three

different CPU cooler types, Socket LGA 775, LGA 1155 and LGA 1156.

Please be noticed that not all the 775 and 1156 CPU Fan can be used.
